1) Is Erik Anderson "the author" of release tarball BusyBox,
v.0.60.3.tar.bz2?
Yes: <http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Gaiman_v._McFarlane>
McFarlane’s registrations no more revealed an intent
to claim copyright in Gaiman’s contributions, as
distinct from McFarlane’s own contributions as compiler
and illustrator, than the copyright notices did. The
significance of registration is that it is a prerequisite
to a suit to enforce a copyright.
3) Is Erik Anderson "a person" that has obtained ownership of all rights
in release BusyBox, v.0.60.3.tar.bz2?
No.
