+<h3>Hall of Shame!!!</h3>
+
+The following products and/or projects appear to use BusyBox, but do not appear
+to release source code as required by the BusyBox license. 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.
