Which is where sites like Groklaw and the Patent Troll Tracker come in
useful. E.g. the link between IP Innovation LLC. (currently suing Red
Hat and Novell over a 17 year old Xerox patent) and Acacia:

And subsequently the link between Acacia and BayStar, one of the
companies that bankrolled SCO's litigation farce:

After having already established the link between BayStar and Microsoft:

Of course there are also direct links between Acacia and Microsoft (at
least two senior ex-employees), as shown in the first link above.
Seems like the trail of corruption always leads back to Redmond.
