I'm all for rewriting C code in Rust, but moving away from the GNU Project and (especially) GPLv3 in favor of mere permissive licensing feels like a trap of a different kind.

Plus its not 1-1 so this is going to fry some bash scripts and install scripts. At work we had to stop using Ubuntu because of a couple of bad installs via this change. Debian is just as good so its fine.

I have no opinions on the rewrite, but I wish they made a flavor or something just for this.
