: Former BusyBox contributor upset about GPL lawsuit
Former BusyBox contributor upset about GPL lawsuit

(Other stories by Ryan Paul)

"Following a confrontation with Perens over a relicensing plan in 2006, the current maintainers conducted a code audit which demonstrated that virtually all of the code originally contributed by Perens is no longer present in the current code base. Perens still insists on lobbing occasional barbs at the current maintainers whenever he gets a good opportunity, and he's apparently also not happy with the fact that the SFLC hasn't gone out of its way to include him in the lawsuits."
