The fact that they're doing it MIT shows they aren't really trying to just rewrite it in rust for technical merits, there are ulterior motives

Specifically, they want to be able to use the utils without having to open-source the derivative works. Same reason why Google is developing the Zircon kernel for Fuchsia OS, by the way.

Yeah, personally I'm against that. It's why I GPL my software

I'm not a lawyer and work in the EU, that's why I EUPL my software.

Sure this is a pretty funny screenshot, but this is a rewrite of gnuutils not a rewrite of libc.
