Open source advocate Bruce Perens calls for a joint defense fund for open code. According to Perens, the open code movement must 'apply lessons learned from that litigation to the post-SCO world and prepare for the next attack--which may come from Microsoft or one of its proxies.'
Bruce Perens states:
'What we need is a one-stop, collective defense entity for open source--one that is well-capitalized and vendor neutral; one with funding primarily from enterprise users, rather than vendors with their conflicted interests; and one involved with most of the existing open-source legal defense efforts, so that it can handle cases economically and with the greatest possible expertise.'
