No it's just a news about the pointless, corporate rust rewrite of GNU coreutils being a shitshow.

    uutils is rewritten by a corporation? Huh, TIL. I guess their website is wrong:

    uutils is a community-driven, open-source effort maintained by volunteers around the world. There is no company behind it, just contributors who care about the future of foundational command-line tools.

    Claims are easy. Actions are what matters. rewriting FOSS program with GPL license under MIT license is only possible from either a corporate backed project (because it makes takeover of a lot of FOSS infra so much simpler for them), or an extremely stupid team. both cases are equally bad.
