Ignoring the subject matter, that’s a terrible LLM slop article. Odd phrasing and extra words like Zanonical all around. Just a wholly unreliable source for anything if they allow that on their platform.
In theory I think it’s a fine exercise rewriting tools like this. I’m not an expert on anything, least of all licenses, but going from GNU’s GPL-3 license to uutils MIT license is perhaps the most noteworthy:
Unlike the GPL, the MIT license does not require that derivative works be open source. Developers can incorporate MIT-licensed code into their projects without being required to release the source code of their entire project.
Hmm… Time to go back to Debian. Too bad, I liked Mint.
Can’t Mint just choose not to incorporate them? They did that with snaps
Snap was just one side thing. Coreutils is, well, core. Diverging on that is like diverging on systemd: if Mint does that, they may as well split from Ubuntu completely, as the dependency hell with Ubuntu packages will be completely unmanageable.
That makes sense, thank you (I’m slow)
If you enjoyed Mint, what about moving to LMDE?
