Let the the fireworks begin!
SFLC's exciting reply:

1. They don't object Best Buy claim that SFC 'agent' has no standing
at all. Ciao SFC plaintiff. Ha ha.
2. Regarding the bogus copyright registration and lack of
identification of Andersen's actual work, the answer is basically
"it's all in the CVS and Subversion logs so go dig it out yourself
dear copyright office and defendants". Ha ha.
3. The rights under the GPL really really automatically terminate on
a slightest breach with no way to cure and the only way out is to beg
for "reinstantiation" of rights. Ha ha.
4. The plaintiffs are really really irreparably harmed. LOL.
5. Dear judge, free us poor plaintiffs from the obligation to post
the security bond... LMAO.
The SFLC is utterly clueless concerning the registration of derivative
works. SFLC says:
"The first version of BusyBox Andersen released
after leaving Lineo was version 0.60.3. That
version contained 8,897 lines of brand new code
added by Andersen after leaving Lineo. This new
code added functionality and improvements to the
stability of BusyBox's core features. Williamson
Decl. Ex. A at 274:5– 276:24. A large portion of
this code, 5,794 lines, he wrote entirely by
himself."
So... we are now down to 5,794 lines of code of unregistered,
unidentified lines of code -- not BusyBox 0.60.3. Remember
the SFLC Complaint?
"BusyBox is a single computer program that comprises a set of computing
tools and optimizes them for computers with limited resources,
such as cell phones, PDAs, and other small, specialized electronic devices."
Andersen was registering "...a single computer program...", *except* it
is now "...5,794 lines..." of code.
Best Buy anticipated this ploy:
"[n.11] If Mr. Andersen were to later claim that he is trying to enforce
only his personal contributions to v.0.60.3, those contributions have
not been defined, they are not before the Court, and they are not
alleged to be in the accused devices."
Sincerely,
RJack :)
