Why don't you believe it?

From my perspective, it seems imminently plausible. Who cares about the licensing?

But I'm interested in what leads you to the opposite conclusion.

Well, for one, the author of the Rust based utils cared enough to change it (or rather to not re-adopt GPL, but IMO that's the same ting). Why shouldn't we care about the licencing?

Yeah I was being tongue in cheek. (Or just overly dismissive I guess.)

I know people do care about licensing, but it's also plausible that it isn't what any given project is most focused on.
