Hi, I buy a emtec too, an R100, they use a very old busybox . So far as I can understand, I can see the sources and busybox version. telnet there and enter with root. So the other sources that emtec might be made , and with a busybox version under GPLv2 can be omit it . Because it is his own material, other material we already have the sources. which is petty, because his material is not nothing especial, and they don't use a newer version of busy box because , might be forced to show his own material. I prefer thinking , in hacking and upgrade busybox my self in that emtec box, because the busybox rocks ! :)
