Where the fuck did you read such nonsense Alan?
The other authors presumably would have standing to challenge that
copyright registration should they wish.
The defendants have standing to challenge that copyright registration.
It's difficult to see why they should, since Andersen, in shouldering
the burden of the lagal action, is simply seeking to enforce the
license busybox is released under, to which all the authors have
assented.
Alan, perhaps you could speak to Alexander in German for additional
help in understanding what the word "exclusive" in:
"§ 106. Exclusive rights in copyrighted works.
Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this
title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the
following:..."
Until Free Softies come to understand what Congress meant by the term
"exclusive rights", they are destined to continue to wander in the
desert. I know you socialists find the concept of "exclusive rights"
anathema but that's the way it is.
Sincerely,
RJack
