<li><b>27 March 2006 -- Software Freedom Law Center representing BusyBox and uClibc</b>
<p>One issue Erik Andersen wanted to resolve when handing off BusyBox
maintainership to Rob Landley was license enforcement. BusyBox and
uClibc's existing license enforcement efforts (pro-bono representation
by Erik's father's law firm, and the
<a href=http://www.busybox.net/shame.html>Hall of Shame</a>), haven't
scaled to match the popularity of the projects. So we put our heads
together and did the obvious thing: ask Pamela Jones of
<a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> for suggestions. She
referred us to the fine folks at softwarefreedom.org.</p>
<p>As a result, we're pleased to announce that the
<a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org">Software Freedom Law Center</a>
has agreed to represent BusyBox and uClibc. We join a number of other
free and open source software projects (such as
<a href=http://lwn.net/Articles/141806/>X.org</a>,
<a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/135413/">Wine</a>, and
<a href=http://plone.org/foundation/newsitems/software-freedom-law-center-support/>Plone</a>
in being represented by a fairly cool bunch of lawyers, which is not a
phrase you get to use every day.</p>
<li><b>22 March 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.1</b>
<p>The new maintainer is Rob Landley, and the new release is <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.1</a>. Expect a "what's new" document in a few days. (Also, Erik and I have have another announcement pending...)</p>
<p>Update: Rather than put out an endless stream of 1.1.1.x releases,
the various small fixes have been collected together into a
<a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.1.fixes.patch">patch</a>,
and new fixes will be appended to that as needed.</p>

<li><b>11 January 2006 -- 1.1.0 is out</b>
