Do you mean they'll release the busybox sources potentially not under GPL, or the in-house version potentially not under GPL?
The former is probably legally difficult, while the latter is expected.
What isn't clear to me is how action regarding the use of copyrighted materials taken after a legal claim is made could have an effect on on-going proceedings.
Perhaps someone with more legal knowledge could elaborate?
