Is it possible/impossible to develop proprietary software to run on linux?

[paolo del bene]

I am sorry for you but time ago, busybox was violated, and you can imangine
which is its own license: http://www.busybox.net/license.html

BusyBox is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2about
µClinux i can tell you that is GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, but they
have not say which version, i suppose is the version 2 as i found on
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/library.txt  but i think that is
better to ask to Erik Andersen <andersen at codepoet.org>

Please invite Erik Andersen to clarify which GNU Library General Public
License they actually are using.
