There wasn’t really a “bother”. They use Busybox for CLI utilities, and LLVM for compiler. It’s arguable that gcc is the real “gnu” in the gnu utilities, or maybe the GPL itself depending on who you ask. That’s kind of my point I guess – the “GNU” portion of the OS isn’t really an integral (or even majority) part of the whole system.
I can’t think I can say that for the kernel. Can you strip out the kernel and just replace it with a different one with some package changes?
its funny because just after writing I was thinking maybe it ported the freebsd ones over to linux but busy box makes sense now that I look at it on the web. I am tempted as I love minimalist.
