Free Software Linux

The SFLC continues to enforce the GPL on behalf of the BusyBox developers, this time against Extreme Networks. As usual, a lawsuit is filed after trying to work with the defendants to remedy the situation first. The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) today announced that it has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Extreme Networks, Inc. on behalf of its clients, two principal developers of BusyBox, alleging violation of the GNU General Public License (GPL). “We attempted to negotiate with Extreme Networks, but they ultimately ignored us,” said Aaron Williamson, SFLC Counsel. “Like too many other companies we have contacted, they treated GPL compliance as an afterthought. That is not acceptable to us or our clients.”
