I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes: "Xterasys has settled the GPL breech lawsuit brought by the BusyBox developers. In short, they've agreed to comply with the GPL, notify all previous customers as to where they can get source code, appoint an "Open Source Compliance Officer," and to pay undisclosed damages to the plaintiffs. Once the SFLC verifies their compliance with these terms, their right to distribute BusyBox under the GPL's terms will be reinstated."

Galaxies have been known to ram into each other, but this is the first known example of attack by particle beam
It goes on with less jocularity to explain this phenomena. And before any of you quip 'that was no moon', actually it was a black hole.
