And if it was instead started by an ex-maintainer of busybox who was so disgusted with a troll he couldn't stand to work on that project anymore and started over from scratch to ensure said troll could never take credit for any of his work ever again? And documented this extensively?

If it was started by the guy who set off the busybox license enforcement actions in the first place? March 27, 2006 entry from here:

If the project was GPLv2 for the first few years and switched for reasons again publicly explained?
