BusyBox authors create independent or derivative works
(depending on whether the code they are writing is new
or is a modification of existing code). They create a
new version of BusyBox by checking this code into the
BusyBox source code control system, this new version
being a derivative work of the previous version. Since
no BusyBox author has declared his intention that the
entire work be a joint work, it is not. Instead, it is
a collective work formed from the contributions of its
many authors.
