<h2 id="busybox"><a href="https://busybox.net/">BusyBox</a></h2>

<p>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a

single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the

utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The

utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their

full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included

provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU

counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any

small or embedded system.</p>

<p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited

resources in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily

include or exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes

it easy to customize your embedded systems. To create a working

system, just add some device nodes in /dev, a few configuration files

in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p>

<h2><a href="http://darcs.net/">Darcs</a></h2>

<p>Darcs is a distributed revision control system written in Haskell. In

Darcs, every copy of your source code is a full repository, which allows for

full operation in a disconnected environment, and also allows anyone with

read access to a Darcs repository to easily create their own branch and

modify it with the full power of Darcs' revision control. Darcs is based on

an underlying theory of patches, which allows for safe reordering and

merging of patches even in complex scenarios. For all its power, Darcs

remains a very easy to use tool for every day use because it follows the

principle of keeping simple things simple.  Darcs is free software

licensed under the GNU GPL.</p>

<h2><a href="/news/2015/aug/17/debian/">Debian Copyright Aggregation Project</a></h2>

<p>The Debian Copyright Aggregation Project offers contributors to

  the <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian project</a> the optional

  opportunity, regarding their works contributed to Debian, to assign

  copyrights or sign a license enforcement agreement (which delegates to

  Conservancy the authority of license enforcement).  The Project also

  creates an ongoing relationship between Conservancy and Debian, wherein

  Conservancy offers Debian its expertise and advice on software licensing,

  enforcement, and related issues.</p>
