They should relicense to the GPL, MIT doesn't preserve user rights. Seriously, I don't get what Rust projects' issue with Free Software is, providing free work that corporations can take and mangle into proprietary garbage is short-sighted.
MIT licensed software is also Free Software, as it follows the definition.
I find it so strange to see words like "preserve user rights" when advocating for a license that adds more restrictions over you.
The rust coreutils author said that he doesn't care about the license/rights of users. He just did it for the technical challenges.

They won't. They deliberately made it permissive. How else are manufacturers like John Deere going to withhold the source from the farmers? Can't have them undoing those software locks, now!
