Yes, the complaint is phrasing it both ways. The defendants
will routinely deny these claims in their responses, and then
the plaintiffs will have to prove their claims sufficiently
so that their charge of copyright infringement will stand.

All the plaintiffs need to show is that Andersen holds
copyright in a part of BusyBox, and that the defendants
are copying and distributing it without permission.
