In a lot of devices this has already happened: replacing the GNU
environment with something that will fit into a sensible amount of flash
is often a high priority when trying to do something with Linux on a
cost-sensitive device. The obvious choice at the moment seems to be
busybox + uclibc. This is free software (GPL and, I think LGPL but could
be wrong) and from a look at their mailing list it seems unlikely busybox
will relicense as v3 in the near future.
