Why? You're allowed to build whatever you want, however you want? Why police people's licenses? Are they misrepresenting something, misleading people?



It's thanks to open source that you are allowed to build what whatever you want. You don't have to give back if you don't want to.


Besides the core aspect of your comment, you are aware that this entire subthread is about:

* GNU Coreutils: GPL licensed

* uutils: MIT licensed

right?

The MIT license is not only an Open Source license, but it's even a Free Software license according to the FSF itself.

So this is nitpicking of the 100th degree at this point.
