One of our panels for presentation at a BLUG meeting was an IP attorney 
that has dealt with GPL. Perhaps he could be talked into another 
presentation based on this issue? He has said at later dates (I ran into 
him at CU law school) that he would like to do more presentations. His 
first presentation was one of the biggest meeting groups we'd had in a 
while, I suspect talking abou the SCO fud would be even bigger.
