One issue Erik Andersen wanted to resolve when handing off BusyBox + maintainership to Rob Landley was license enforcement. BusyBox and + uClibc's existing license enforcement efforts (pro-bono representation + by Erik's father's law firm, and the + Hall of Shame), haven't + scaled to match the popularity of the projects. So we put our heads + together and did the obvious thing: ask Pamela Jones of + Groklaw for suggestions. She + referred us to the fine folks at softwarefreedom.org.
+ +As a result, we're pleased to announce that the + Software Freedom Law Center + has agreed to represent BusyBox and uClibc. We join a number of other + free and open source software projects (such as + X.org, + Wine, and + Plone + in being represented by a fairly cool bunch of lawyers, which is not a + phrase you get to use every day.
+The new maintainer is Rob Landley, and the new release is BusyBox 1.1.1. Expect a "what's new" document in a few days. (Also, Erik and I have have another announcement pending...)
+Update: Rather than put out an endless stream of 1.1.1.x releases, + the various small fixes have been collected together into a + patch, + and new fixes will be appended to that as needed.
The new stable release is -- cgit v1.1
