A) Apparently so (although you still haven't pointed at any),
B) If you want to launch lawsuits based on linux kernel copyrights, be my guest. Suing people over busybox to get kernel code is bass-ackwards.
C) If I started an enforcement action, I get to render it obsolete.
You're still bitching about Tim offering to _help_me_write_code_, and getting his employer to help too. You don't want that code written under those terms, because that code will COMPETE with your code.
It doesn't prevent busybox from being there. It doesn't prevent people from using my YEARS of contributions to busybox, under the same license terms they've always been under.
You're the one going "how dare you compete with me". I wrote the code being replaced, and I'm writing the code replacing it; you did neither. I'm the one who tracked down pro-bono legal representation and was a plaintiff in the lawsuits; you did neither.
I'm the one who consulted not just at Cisco while the SFLC sued it, but for IBM's lawyers helping defend them from the SCO lawsuitm and saw what was actually going on behind the scenes of intellectual property lawsuits in great detail. Heck, I wrote a week long series of articles for The Motley Fool on the five types of intellectual property a dozen years ago, the copyrights one is here:
I did that way back when because studying intellectual property law was a hobby of mine back in the 90's. (I remember when I visited the patent and trademark office in person with my grandfather, who lived in DC.)
And you're calling _me_ naieve?
Dude: I disagree with you from a far more informed position than yours. :)
Note: I banged on busybox to scratch my own itch. My current day job (at a totally unrelated company) does not allow any of its engineers, company wide, to use busybox in the product. Due to the actions of the SFLC. And they are not alone, this is STANDARD POLICY for anything based on Android. The "no GPL in userspace" thing is from _GOOGLE_, not Sony.

I want my code to be used on Android, so I write new code that can.
