The confiscations hurt but the job cuts are also a future-looking statement: they think that Germany is a less useful place now for basing their production due to the higher energy costs. This trend is visible in many industries, but of cou

I think people who deeply care about avoiding GPL use BSDs instead, so they swap out the entire OS (say some console vendor). As for coreutils, they aren't that important that one has to use them in particular. There are plenty of de
