Took all the fun out of it (reminded me of "SCO Disease")
Did toybox as a hobby for a bit, no real expectation anybody use it.
Even came back to busybox for a while, on and off, circa 2008-2011 sent toybox patch to busybox, fixed their vi, nbd-client...
Also I think it's worth to listen the first 10 minutes as an intro, and brief about licensing from 5 minutes forward. Where he explains how BusyBox's licensing was then used by other people as "beating tool" to get hardware specs.

Why did I switch from busybox to toybox?
I left busybox due to an argument over GPLv3.
