This is a violation +of the law! The distributors of these products are invited to contact <a href= +"mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a> if they have any confusion as +to what is needed to bring their products into compliance, or if they have +already brought their product into compliance and wish to be removed from the +Hall of Shame. + +<p> + +Complying with the Busybox license is easy and completely free, so the +companies listed below should be ashamed of themselves. Furthermore, each +product listed here is subject to being legally ordered to cease and desist +distribution for violation of copyright law, and the distributor of each +product is subject to being sued for statutory copyright infringement damages +plus legal fees. Nobody wants to be sued, and <a +href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik</a> certainly has better things to do +than sue people. But he will sue if forced to do so to maintain compliance. +Do everyone a favor and don't break the law -- if you use busybox, comply with +the busybox license by releasing the source code with your product. + +</p> + +<ul> + + <li><a href="http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/html/mvp.htm">Hauppauge Media MVP</a> + </li><li><a href="http://www.buffalo-technology.com/products/wireless/wbr-g54.htm">Buffalo WBR-G54 wireless router</a> + </li><li><a href="http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=201522&pcount=&Product_Id=136493">Belkin 54g Wireless DSL/Cable Gateway Router</a> + </li><li><a href="http://www.dmmtv.com/">Dreambox DM7000S DVB Satellite Receiver</a> + </li><li><a href="http://testing.lkml.org/slashdot.php?mid=331690">Sigma Designs EM8500 based DVD players</a> + </li><li><a href="http://testing.lkml.org/slashdot.php?mid=433790">Liteon LVD2001 DVD player using the Sigma Designs EM8500</a> + </li><li><a href="http://www.rimax.net/">Rimax DVD players using the Sigma Designs EM8500</a> + </li><li><a href="http://www.vinc.us/">Bravo DVD players using the Sigma Designs EM8500</a> + </li><li>Undoubtedly there are others...
