    The SFLC is a non-profit law firm established in 2005 to provide
    pro-bono legal services to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
    developers. The suit was filed on behalf of the Software Freedom
    Conservancy (Conservancy), the non-profit corporate home of the
    popular software application BusyBox and many other FOSS projects,
    and Erik Andersen, one of the program's principal developers and
    copyright holders.

    The Software Freedom Conservancy is an organization composed
    of Free, Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects
    (called Conservancy's “member projects”). Conservancy is a
    fiscal sponsor for these member projects, thus the Conservancy's
    member projects benefit from financial, administrative services
    and non-profit oversight. By joining the Conservancy, member
    projects can obtain the benefits of a formal legal structure
    while keeping themselves focused on software development.
