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?
I seem to recall some drama about rust in the kernel… what could that mean…
Nothing. The language used has absolutely nothing to do with the license.
All the kernel Rust code is GPL, so you can leave that slippery slope alone. MIT licenced core utils just leave the door open to eventually using them in the BSDs as well.
That has nothing to do with anything. rust code has nothing to do with the license.
