I am not quite sure this discussion applies to this project: "Linux-compatible" and "Unix-like" seems to mean "a POSIX-like kernel" rather than being a direct rewrite of the Linux kernel. The Rust rewrite of coreutils is more problematic because it advertises itself as a drop-in replacement and they are going for complete binary compatibility. I don't think Maestro is actually going for kernel compatibility with Linux, just POSIX compatibility in general.

If I understand this project correctly it's going for syscall compatibility, and can run some subset of Linux binaries already. Which is cool, but... In any case, I wish the author luck, and it'd be cool if it went somewhere, but I am disappointed by the choice of license. But that's up to them, in the end.

  While I disagree with you about licenses (I prefer permissive licenses as they grant more freedom), I at least give you kudos for having the good grace to not shit on the author for using a license model other than what you prefer. So many people in this thread are displaying a truly remarkable level of rudeness about the license when it is (as you said) the author's right to decide what he wants to use.
