<p>In October 2011, Conservancy received a GPL violation report on
BusyBox for VMware's ESXi products. Conservancy opened the matter in its
usual, friendly, and non-confrontational way. Nevertheless, VMware
immediately referred Conservancy to VMware's outside legal counsel in the
USA, and Conservancy negotiated with VMware's legal counsel throughout
late 2011, 2012 and 2013. We exchanged and reviewed CCS candidates, and

BusyBox. However, VMware still refused to fix a few minor and one major
compliance problem that we discovered during the process. Namely, there
was a major violation regarding Linux itself that ultimately became
Christoph's key complaint in this lawsuit.</p>
