The Software Freedom Law enter doesn't require you to: A) Sign over the copyrights to them as a precondition of enforcing them. B) Abandon perfectly good licenses like GPLv2 and LGPLv2.0 for political reasons. See the old March 27, 2006 news entry on http://busybox.net/ for more on this, and then the September 29, 2006 entry for follow-up. And yes, uClibc is covered by the agreement.
