mateusz6768chimerautils on Chimera Linux which ports the FreeBSD userland utilities to Linux, the “vibe coded” uutils Rust clone of GNU coreutils and many more i could explain here@mateusz6768 @luna tagging you both, since I think my reply applies to both your comments.
I hate GNU/Linux term for two big reasons:
it's not actually correct. Like, there are loads of different modules and parts that make linux system and yet we're not calling it systemd/GNOME/ostree/busybox/linux or whatever. If we're picking one thing out of many others to precise what we're actually using (because technically Android is also linux distro!), so why is it GNU coreutils specifically? It's important part of the ecosystem, but not that important. If we really wanted to use something more precise to refer to our terf of the linux world, Freedesktop Linux would be better.
The type of people to use that is the most annoying GPL fanatic who shits on every program which license isn't GPL2 or later, is a stallmite and is usually conservative to the bone. I've seen it too many times for it to NOT be true.
Also, where did you saw uutils is slopcoded?
@mateusz6768 @luna Correction — GPLv2 or later. Kernel is getting roasted by these people for not moving to GPL3.
relicense the software to their GPL flavor to make them happy
You can't really do that, since the code itself will remain under permissive license. There was a fork of uutils that did that (change the license from MIT to GPL) and it was shot down for copyright reasons.
