,----[ Quote ]
| It's not the first group to complain about

| against any company trading illegally in
| Norway, and believes that Amazon might
| just fit the bill.

| so it's a good thing they've released that code - BusyBox has been active in
| recent years by way of the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) in making sure
| that vendors that use their code actually comply with the GPL.
