GPL is just as bad as proprietary licenses in the sense that GPL makes the user worry about the licensing of some library they just want to use. MIT, BSD,… give the code user the freedom to avoid worrying about licensing bullshit. GPL meanwhile doesn’t really solve any of the problems you claim it solves because all it does is duplicate effort and the non-GPL duplicate is used in a lot of places where a single copy of the code could be used if the GPL-using author hadn’t stubbornly insisted on a disproven theory of how GPL will save us.

On the other hand a new GPL licensed version of coreutils will run into the exact same adoption problems that brought us the current mess of “you can use this parameter on GNU but not on the BSD version”,…

If you licensed your project incorrectly

If you think other people disagreeing with you on how to license their own work is “incorrect” maybe you are the one not really in favor of freedom.

It does with the environment variable mentioned elsewhere but it uses three yanked crates.

For me it was all the yanked versions of ahash that prevented it from building

Also last updated in 2021 and won’t build any more with cargo install for me.
