I am sorry for you but time ago, busybox was violated, and you can imangine which is its own license: <a href="http://www.busybox.net/license.html">http://www.busybox.net/license.html</a><br><br><h3><a name="license">BusyBox is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2</a></h3>
<h3><a name="license"></a></h3>about 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 <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/library.txt">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/library.txt</a> but i think that is better to ask to Erik Andersen <<a href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">andersen@codepoet.org</a>><br>
<br>Please invite Erik Andersen to clarify which GNU Library General Public License they actually are using.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/4 Armijn Hemel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:armijn@uulug.nl">armijn@uulug.nl</a>></span><br>

</div>I am sorry for you, but a lot of embedded systems don't use things from<br>
the GNU project, like uClibc (not a part of GNU), busybox (not a part of<br>
GNU) and so on.<br>
<br>
And this has nothing to do with licensing anymore, so let's stop this<br>
discussion here, hmkay?<br>
