It was a total loss. That's not the way the SFLC sees it. On http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2008/mar/17/busybox-verizon/ we have: As a result of the plaintiffs agreeing to dismiss the lawsuit and reinstate Actiontec's and its customer's rights to distribute BusyBox under the GPL, Actiontec has agreed to appoint an Open Source Compliance Officer within its organization to monitor and ensure GPL compliance, to publish the source code for the version of BusyBox it previously distributed on its Web site, and to undertake substantial efforts to notify previous recipients of BusyBox from Actiontec and its customers, including Verizon, of their rights to the software under the GPL. The settlement also includes an undisclosed amount of financial consideration paid to the plaintiffs by Actiontec. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
