Basically I was trying to allow everybody to take advantage of 3(C) sans the "noncommercial" bit by pointing back at the busybox website and going "we downloaded it form here, bon apetit".

(GPLv2 has the downside of predating the NSF "Acceptable Use Policy" changes circa 1993-ish that allowed commercial ISPs to attach to the backbone. It doesn't have anything in it about internet distribution because that wasn't a viable option for most users when it was published, which is why all the dialup modems were still calling each _other_ and doing uucp and fidonet.)
