BSD 3 clause for new code seems like a step backwards.

Why?

I like the idea but I think that https://github.com/uutils/coreutils
likely is the better option going forward if you want to avoid GNU
coreutils. Writing code that works on all platforms seems better than
to port from one system to another, in my opinion

You are being downvoted for giving cryptic, unhelpful comments.

I've replaced most of the base coreutils I used often with rust based
tool on my personal systems.

As long as it isn't 4 clause, it's not really a big deal.

Can’t combine with GPL.

Yes you can.  The advertising clause is the poison pill for the gpl
and that is in 4 clause

Oops. I guess so.
