canonical doing canonical things
It’s expected, because the tools are still in development and have not reached 100% test covered yet. Ubuntu 25.10 is not a long term version, so ideal for real world testing. But now we can expect copy-pasta ai blog posts all over the place. And personal attacks against the programming language itself.
Btw for me persona problem of this replacement is only license switching from strong copy left to permissive, I don’t really like this trend it smells really bad from what corps actuality like more nowadays as fear as fire gpl.I don’t know who exactly staying behind rust coreutils but devs just ignore all request about GPL or responding very cold or find any other stupid excuse like they don’t wanna deal with it. At least they could give their direct point of their views and their motivation about it.but still will not support MIT licence as for main tools for importan core of system
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m not sure what the worst case scenario is… like, is some company going to get rich off of their proprietary
cpandsudoimplementation that they forked off of an open one?It’s one thing when a company gets the benefits of people’s contributions and doesn’t give back (in the form of source code when they build upon it and at the time they offer binary files). If a company wants to do the work themselves… well now they don’t have too.
GPL promoters typically value software freedom, and may believe it’s generally bad for society when software is proprietary. I don’t know what coreutlis does but I doubt there’s a thoughtful reason to choose MIT license for a clone.

Why does it matter to you? If the developers are fine with the license and how the code they write can be used under it, that’s their prerogative. You don’t lose anything if some company also uses those programs.

What are you expecting them to say? “That’s the license we chose for this thing we’re allowing you to use for free. Use it or don’t, we don’t care”? They have no obligation to justify themselves to you.

What do you mean by support? Would be be donating money to the developers if the license was different? The developers don’t get anything from you using their code.
Sure, but everybody is aware that roughly 30% of the Internet run on
ubuntu:latestand well, that will move to 25.10 soon.And yes, nobody should do this, using a latest tag for docker builds, but everybody does it … So …
25.10 isn’t on the main upgrade path. Serious users migrate to the new LTS every two years, and very serious users pay for the twelve-year support plan.
Damn bruh, I didn’t know that too.
New software has bugs??
Glad to see someone’s working the bugs out.
There seems to be a bug in rust md5 implementation. This can break everything, but then everything can soon be fixed too.
Looks like md5 is fine, it’s dd that’s wrong
I can hear the goalposts moving.
I warned ya. Rust folks never make a true 1:1 replacement. They have to tweek it. Always.
Durrrrrr
