LMFO I was on the reddit thread reading this post and coudn't believe my eyes reading the comments. We're living truly revelation times. Like you said this is a long due wakeup call for the rest of the "uncivilized" world.

I think something sinister is happening with oxidizing all GNU projects (reddit crosspost) (www.reddit.com)

I posted this over /r/StallmanWasRight and I am not sure it would be taken well at /r/Rust so here we are.

I have been getting into Rust in the last year but the licensing ecosystem of Rust crates makes me perplexed.

Today I came along this project https://github.com/uutils/coreutils that is trying to rewrite GNU coreutils in Rust and it is likely over the years projects like this one will overshadow many of the legacy GNU projects.

They are almost all made on "permissive" licenses that will give so much more power to corporations, in fact I am absolutely sure all these (big) rewrites are sponsored by corporations to escape the GNU safeguards that were built to protect users and society.

Does anyone else see this or am I just too paranoid ?

EDIT: It is not my intention to single out any specific project/team. Instead, I aim to initiate a meaningful discussion regarding the licensing choice. Rust is likely the first language since C that holds the capability to effectively replace the decades old, legacy libraries.

Good book recommandation for iputils and PBR in Linux (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi,

I am an amateur in network admin and run my homelab. I currently have a need to create some complex routing logic for a docker container, basically replicating the ip rules generated by Wireguard's wg-quick but manually.

Since years I wanted to learn a bit more about Policy Based Routing and better using iputils ip command for this.

What comprehensive book or learning material do you recommend ?
