| 5 | <li><b>27 March 2006 -- Software Freedom Law Center representing BusyBox and uClibc</b> | ||
| 6 | <p>One issue Erik Andersen wanted to resolve when handing off BusyBox | ||
| 7 | maintainership to Rob Landley was license enforcement. BusyBox and | ||
| 8 | uClibc's existing license enforcement efforts (pro-bono representation | ||
| 9 | by Erik's father's law firm, and the | ||
| 10 | <a href=http://www.busybox.net/shame.html>Hall of Shame</a>), haven't | ||
| 11 | scaled to match the popularity of the projects. So we put our heads | ||
| 12 | together and did the obvious thing: ask Pamela Jones of | ||
| 13 | <a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> for suggestions. She | ||
| 14 | referred us to the fine folks at softwarefreedom.org.</p> | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | <p>As a result, we're pleased to announce that the | ||
| 17 | <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org">Software Freedom Law Center</a> | ||
| 18 | has agreed to represent BusyBox and uClibc. We join a number of other | ||
| 19 | free and open source software projects (such as | ||
| 20 | <a href=http://lwn.net/Articles/141806/>X.org</a>, | ||
| 21 | <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/135413/">Wine</a>, and | ||
| 22 | <a href=http://plone.org/foundation/newsitems/software-freedom-law-center-support/>Plone</a> | ||
| 23 | in being represented by a fairly cool bunch of lawyers, which is not a | ||
| 24 | phrase you get to use every day.</p> | ||
