The Rust implementation that we are discussing is MIT licensed and as far as I know not part of GNU.

I do not believe that "Coreutils" is trademarked by GNU.

There are other projects that use the name "Coreutils" that are not part of GNU:

That's exactly why GNU sort of coreutils should be called GNU/Coreutils. The comment said that GNU/Coreutils are equivalent to Coreutils, I said they aren't.

I think the person you're replying to was just memeing on the Richard Stallman essay that has the line, "What you call Linux should really be called GNU/Linux"

I was sad to find out that rms apparently didn't even say it.
