Unlike the GNU coreutils rewrite in Rust, the Bun rewrite in Rust is being undertaken by the owners of the project.

That said, yes, you’re correct that Bun isn’t GPL: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun?tab=License-1-ov-file

Hmm, that's unfortunate - why does so much Rust stuff seem to default to MIT/BSD ? Just because Mozilla used that for most of the Rust stuff ?

Do developers using Rust even know the difference ? Like how anyone can basically take all you work & base a proprietary fork on it with maybe saying "thanks" (attribution) if they feel like it ? :P
