Debian should fork it and re-license it under the GPL.

What would be the point of doing that when they can just keep using GNU coreutils?

[–] danielquinn -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well presumably there are at least some performance and safety benefits to using these new alternatives. Otherwise it's just a blatant license dodge.

In that case, nothing is stopping Debian from using uutils as it is; they can't really "re-license" it anyway since the original code will continue to be MIT-licensed.
