Fourth GPL Infringement Lawsuit Filed On Behalf of BusyBox

On December 7, the Software Freedom Law Center ("SFLC") announced that it has filed a lawsuit on behalf of BusyBox developers Erik Andersen and Rob Landley alleging violations of the GPLv2 by Verizon Communications, Inc.

According the the SFLC, Verizon apparently distributes to its costumers routers that contain BusyBox, but fails to also make BusyBox source code available in violation of the GPL.

The SFLC's press release is located here.

CNET coverage is  here; and a copy of the complaint is located here.
