"The most notable thing about this project is it allows proprietarization while GNU coreutils doesnt"
That's a GitHub issue title filed by an FSF director on a project whose goal is to rewrite the basic POSIX core utilities in Rust, for security and maintainability. Because they MIT licensed them. They are literally telling a new competing project that they are worthless and an attack on the FSF due to their license choice.

If that’s your interpretation of that quote, I’m not sure I can help you.
