And yes, after considering the mountain of evidence I decided to choose a #permissive instead of #copyleft license.

In fact, I did choose the same license that @landley chose for #toybox: #0BSD.

Since #copyleft would not guarantee improvements as can be seen not only from #BusyBox but also @grsecurity and #Viprinet #VPN - #Routers.

["#Viprinux" is a botched and horribly outdated #OpenADK mess based off what they released on their website]...

Also from my observation I can confirm @landley 's observations that #Copyleft doesn't help #Linux to the point that one can get archaic and long-outdated #Sourcecode like " #Viprinux " that is basically useless and is even older than #Floppinux.

Also if #Viprinet still uses 2015-dated code then that's rather scary than anything to me as a #sysadmin.
