| 4 | <h3>Hall of Shame!!!</h3> | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | The following products and/or projects appear to use BusyBox, but do not | ||
| 7 | appear to release source code as required by the <a | ||
| 8 | href="/license.html">BusyBox license</a>. This is a violation of the law! | ||
| 9 | The distributors of these products are invited to contact <a href= | ||
| 10 | "mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a> if they have any confusion | ||
| 11 | as to what is needed to bring their products into compliance, or if they have | ||
| 12 | already brought their product into compliance and wish to be removed from the | ||
| 13 | Hall of Shame. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | <p> | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | Here are the details of <a href="/license.html">exactly how to comply | ||
| 18 | with the BusyBox license</a>, so there should be no question as to | ||
| 19 | exactly what is expected. | ||
| 20 | Complying with the Busybox license is easy and completely free, so the | ||
| 21 | companies listed below should be ashamed of themselves. Furthermore, each | ||
| 22 | product listed here is subject to being legally ordered to cease and desist | ||
| 23 | distribution for violation of copyright law, and the distributor of each | ||
| 24 | product is subject to being sued for statutory copyright infringement damages | ||
| 25 | of up to $150,000 per work plus legal fees. Nobody wants to be sued, and <a | ||
| 26 | href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik</a> certainly would prefer to spend | ||
| 27 | his time doing better things than sue people. But he will sue if forced to | ||
| 28 | do so to maintain compliance. | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | <p> | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | Do everyone a favor and don't break the law -- if you use busybox, comply with | ||
| 33 | the busybox license by releasing the source code with your product. | ||
| 34 | |||
