Before anyone starts filing copyright infringement claims concerning the vast quntity of unix and posix-like source code modules out there in cyberspace they should run a utility like Eric Raymond's code comparator against the CSRG code. It may open some eyes concerning the true original creators of source modules in things unix-like. BusyBox code included.
If the original creators licensed the code such that others could make derivative works and did not restrict the license under which those derivative works could be distributed then it does not matter how those works got their start. Creators of derivative works may file copyright infringement claims if their license is not being honored. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
