To stay practical would you please show me how do you relicense 
busybox
to some different license?
Even if you can relicense the code in case you are the only developer 
or in case
you can make all developers and conributors agree to the change for 
the binaries
distributed before the relicensing occurred source code must be made 
available.
For this very same reason you can fork busybox but cannot change the 
license
at your will as:

"[Thus], it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or 
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent 
is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 
collective works based on the Program."

and also

" 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; 
or, 
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of 
physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable 
copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the 
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for 
software interchange; or, 
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed 
only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the 
program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord 
with Subsection b above.) "

and

"4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 
except as expressly provided under this License"

and

"5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 
distribute the Program or its derivative works."

You as a user have no rights, you have a *privilege*, a privilege
granted to you by the developer through the license. If you, as a
user, sue a company for not complying with the GPL of my source 
code,
I can give them my code with a different license, and you can do
nothing about it. *You, as user, have no rights*.
