At first I was sceptical, but after a few thought, I came to the solution that, if uutils can do the same stuff, is/stays actively maintained and more secure/safe (like memory bugs), this is a good change.

What are your thoughts abouth this?

    It’s funny since don’t these core utils come from bsd meaning the new license is more like the original license than gpl is like either. So didn’t gnu effectively steal the code and change the license for political reasons?
