The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC), defender of the GPL's honor, said Monday that Xterasys Corporation, one of the companies it sued in November for not providing users with the source code to the GPL 2-protected Busybox Unix utilities as the license requires, has settled out of court. That makes two renegades brought to justice. Monsoon Multimedia, the first company SFLC sued on behalf of Busybox' creators, also settled. And a few days ago SFLC sued Verizon Communications, the phone company, for patent infringement because it's not publishing the source code for the Busybox widgetry embedded in the Actiontec router it distributes connecting customers to the Internet, TV and phone. Verizon has maybe nine million FiOS customers.
