I don't buy that uutils will be a meaningful improvement for security. Though replacing GPL licensed coreutils with a MIT licensed alternative is not a good look for Ubuntu's support of free software.
- TheCoreh 2y agoIt could be argued that it's not a good look for Ubuntu's support of copyleft, but MIT license _is_ free software, as per the FSF definition of free software.
- okglouv 2y agoFSF defined “free software” licenses other than GPL are “free for me, fee for thee”.
