He may have written some parts of a work called BusyBox, v.0.60.3 (as a
whole, including individual contributions, and compilation of
contributions overall). But he is certainly not "the author of the work"
you moron Hyman. A whole bunch of contributions where submitted to him
by others, meaning that others have authored material and/or selection
work to include that material in a compilation.
