I don't know your license (you argued more than one time about it but
unfortunately I still don't know it) and frankly I don't care because I use
your code in busybox and thats it. My understanding is the following: the
problem is not that you give it away for free - the problem is that busybox
only has GPL and this license has some limitations. You need to allow the
maintainer to release your codes under that license (including its
limitations) even though your original license is more free otherwise the
maintainer can't include the code in the project.

Don't you think that stating "The busybox project is allowed to redistribute
my works under the GPL license" would be much easier to handle instead of
your own little war with Rob? And it would be much more helpful to busybox
as well.
