BusyBox developers agreed to end the GPL lawsuit against Verizon, which was filed by the Software Freedom Law Center. Verizon distributes BusyBox in devices that are provided to Verizon by Actiontec Electronics, Inc.. Under the agreement, "
Actiontec has agreed to appoint an Open Source Compliance Officer within its organization to monitor and ensure GPL compliance, to publish the source code for the version of BusyBox it previously distributed on its Web site, and to undertake substantial efforts to notify previous recipients of BusyBox from Actiontec and its customers, including Verizon, of their rights to the software under the GPL".
