Are you implying that Microsoft would use the common CLI software interfaces if GNU coreutils weren't GPL? Because I deeply believe they wouldn't. Embrace, extend, extinguish.
- jen20 4y agoThey already ship curl. In doubt the license is the thing stopping it, but there is some precedent here. WSL (v2) is just a fancy wrapper around a Linux VM though, so the tools you get there are from the distro, not Windows.
- aragilar 4y agoNo, they don't ship curl, see https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/08/19/removing-the-powershell-curl-alias/ https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2016/08/19/removing-the-powershe... and https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/1901 https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/1901.
