SFLC Sues to Enforce GPLv2

Interesting news with the SFLC going out proactively on behalf of BusyBox. This case seems almost “too easy” for getting a precedent but it looks like a good call. Luis covers it here.

“Free software licenses such as the GPL exist to protect the freedom of computer users. If we don’t ensure that these licenses are respected, then they will not be able to achieve their goal,” said Eben Moglen, Founding Director of SFLC. “Our goal is simply to ensure that Monsoon Multimedia complies with the terms of the GPL.”
