Btw for me persona problem of this replacement is only license switching from strong copy left to permissive, I don’t really like this trend it smells really bad from what corps actuality like more nowadays as fear as fire gpl.I don’t know who exactly staying behind rust coreutils but devs just ignore all request about GPL or responding very cold or find any other stupid excuse like they don’t wanna deal with it. At least they could give their direct point of their views and their motivation about it.but still will not support MIT licence as for main tools for importan core of system
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m not sure what the worst case scenario is… like, is some company going to get rich off of their proprietary cp and sudo implementation that they forked off of an open one?
Apple is ok with GPLv2 Bash. Linux kernel is GPLv2, GNU coreutils are GPLv3. Systemd is curiosly also GPLv2. Striping GNU out of GNU/Linux might not be so innocent.

That’s a pretty big problem, I couldn’t care less about the language. But stepping away from GPL is not good at all.
