MIT instead of GPL ๐
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?
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.
