<h3>Hall of Shame!!!</h3>
|
|
|
|
The following products and/or projects appear to use BusyBox, but do not appear
|
|
to release source code as required by the BusyBox license. This is a violation
|
|
of the law! The distributors of these products are invited to contact <a href=
|
|
"mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a> if they have any confusion as
|
|
to what is needed to bring their products into compliance, or if they have
|
|
already brought their product into compliance and wish to be removed from the
|
|
Hall of Shame.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
Here are the details of <a href="/license.html">exactly how to comply
|
|
with the BusyBox license</a>, so there should be no question as to
|
|
exactly what is expected.
|
|
Complying with the Busybox license is easy and completely free, so the
|
|
companies listed below should be ashamed of themselves. Furthermore, each
|
|
product listed here is subject to being legally ordered to cease and desist
|
|
distribution for violation of copyright law, and the distributor of each
|
|
product is subject to being sued for statutory copyright infringement damages
|
|
plus legal fees. Nobody wants to be sued, and <a
|
|
href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik</a> certainly has better things to do
|
|
than sue people. But he will sue if forced to do so to maintain compliance.
|
|
Do everyone a favor and don't break the law -- if you use busybox, comply with
|
|
the busybox license by releasing the source code with your product.
