Not a fan of this trend of "cleaning" GPL licensed software and releasing under permissive licenses. Also why I'm not a fan of UUtils nor Canonical's early adoption of it in Ubuntu.
The intent here is extraction of all the value provided by copyleft projects without the obligation to give back. Wether it's technically legal or not, it's disgusting behavior IMO.
That’s explicitly not what’s happening with uutils; they have contributed fixes and test cases back to upstream
And just like that, it was forked by Microsoft a few days ago. Handed to them on a silver platter.

GNU was originally developed to "clean" UNIX from the AT&T license.
