Was not expecting EEE for Coreutils but I suppose it’s the natural consequence of the MIT license used for uutils so not totally unexpected.

It’s annoying enough to support the differences between BSD and Linux, and now Linux has GNU and uutils, and now we’re gonna need Windows variant of uutils…ugh.

MIT is a good license to maximize proliferation of use.

It seems to be working as intended for uutils.

As if being popular by itself is actually a good thing. Popular with corporate shitheads that want free stuff and not contribute anything sure. Is it good for Open Source, absolutey not.

The authors have agency to use whatever license they want. They chose MIT.

[throwatdem12311]

Just because they chose it doesn’t make it a good choice.

[snvzz]

We do not know what the authors' goal is.

At best, we can make the guess: They chose the license that best fits their interests.

It was really obvious.

Microsoft "loves" Linux for years and the entire point was to bring the Linux userspace on the Windows Desktop.

Such a blatantly obvious attempt to damage GNU

[snvzz]

GNU is third party to this.
