Talk:BusyBox

message: I'm confused by this sentence:
    What was claimed to be the first US lawsuit over a GPL violation concerned use of BusyBox in an embedded device.
It implies that someone claimed this was the first US lawsuit over a GPL violation but there's some reason to doubt that person. My guess is the intent was only to offer some uncertainty but even that seems unnecessary. It either was the first US GPL lawsuit or it wasn't. I'm no law expert so if there really is a good reason this is uncertain then that should be explained in the article. Otherwise it should just say that this is the first US GPL lawsuit. --Praxeolitic (talk) 00:45, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: First GPL lawsuit?

message: "It should be noted that no other prior developers including original author Bruce Perens and long time maintainer Dave Cinege were represented in these actions raising questions as to Anderson and Landley's copyright claims and standing to bring suit.[citation needed]"
Of course any copyright holder can bring a suit.  The quoted text is silly.  On the other hand, any copyright holder not involved in a settlement ought to be able to bring more suits.DHR (talk) 04:29, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The article asserts that BusyBox gives a saving of both disk space and memory when compared with the utilities it replaces. I can see how the disk space saving is achieved but the memory saving needs to be explained as I would expect the BusyBox executable to have a considerably larger memory footprint than any one of the individual utilities. 83.104.249.240 (talk) 16:00, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

message: At[ http://landley.net/toybox/ ], Rob Landley, the developer of Toybox, says this:
:'CELF/ELC talk and Wikipedia[citation needed] article'
:I gave another State Of The Toybox talk (video, outline), in which I repeat my perennial complaint that Wikipedia[citation needed] still says toybox was relicensed before its hiatus, when relicensing was why the hiatus ended.
:Since Wikipedia[citation needed] seems unable to do the most basic research on this point, and has stuck to an incorrect sequence of events for years, I've been gradually escalating my attempts to correct them. Toybox came out of mothballs in November 2011 because it could be relicensed. That's what opened up a new niche busybox wasn't already filling with a 10 year headstart.
:The article has plenty of smaller issues*, but given that I gave an entire talk at Ohio LinuxFest in 2013 (outline, audio) on why I switched away from GPL for my projects, that one bugs me.
(Note: The [citation needed] tags are in the original.)
I would like to address these comments by Rob Landley and either correct our article or document with citations to reliable sources our reasons for retaining the current version. Comments? --Guy Macon (talk) 20:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

message: Any need to mention, that busybox is one of the first to completely drop systemd-support (http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=accd9eeb719916da974584b33b1aeced5f3bb346)? Or would that lead to yet another flame war? 2A02:908:E942:3920:AA7D:994D:5E82:343F (talk) 07:04, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
