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.

Got it. Andrew Gallant is extremely stupid. Will keep that in mind.
Thanks! So probably, we can conclude that he’s getting paid corporate money. Good for him, just a shame if others use it.
Btw, a very smart person can still make very stupid decisions.
