Unless you don't care if nobody uses busybox. But what is clear is that you are not interested in the problem, and thus not interested in solutions. >> > I want my rights enforced!!! for a simple reason because if you don't >> > fight for your rights you end with no rights at all. >> >> That's _your_ opinion. > > That's not an opinion but a matter of fact. I have never fought for my software rights, and I still have those rights. I have never fought for my freedom of speech rights, and yet I still have them. As long as the law is not modified, the rights will remain there. You can disagree of the reason why I still have those rights, but that's your opinion, the fact remains that I have the rights, and I have never fought them. That's an undeniable fact, not an opinion. >> You are minimizing the issue.

It's more akin to asking the company to pay me 100K euro, and when the company offers 50K euro, I reject them. The company would rather pay 0 euro than 100K. By putting things in black-and-white, everybody looses. > “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you > win.” Gandhi never fought. He won by minding his own business, which is what the Linux project is doing; generally ignoring enforcement, and rather concentrate on creating an awesome project.
