Thanks Till,

I'm also a big fan of the MPLv2 - we use it for our open source repositories. I 
hadn't realized (or had forgotten) that hate CDDL was derived from the original 
MPL or that v2 was based on the CDDL! Regarding GPL, that is understandable, 
though I always has the impression it was linking with (not distributing with) 
GPL software that caused issue.

Thanks for the pointers - I appreciate it. Since Rust was mentioned, I wonder 
if the Rust coreutils library has been considered, at least as a starting point 
for some of the tools in question. Although I've not used it myself it was a 
dependency for something I use, and I have a branch of it fixing the illumos 
build (will try to get that merged soon), though many tests outside of uucore 
are failing, so I'll likely need to look into those in one or more follow-up 
patches.
