Ubuntu Plans to Swap GNU Coreutils for Rust
Frosty Piss writes:https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/19/ubuntu_2510_rust/Efforts are afoot to replace the GNU coreutils with Rust ones in future versions of Ubuntu - which also means changing the software license. Canonical plans to replace the current core utilities - from the GNU project and implemented in C - with the newer uutils suite, which is written in Rust. Rather than technical issues, most concerns raised in the discussion on Ubuntu Discourse are about licensing. As a product of the GNU project, the existing coreutils are licensed under the GPL - specifically, GPL 3. The Rust replacements are licensed under the much more permissive MIT license.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
