This claim doesn't acknowledge the reality that GPL-2 software (such as e.g. systemd or the Linux kernel) is an important part of Apertis and won't go away anytime soon. That's still GPL, just not the latest version.
The fact that rust-coreutils is MIT is completely orthogonal: it would still be the best choice for Apertis if it were licensed under the GPL-2, for example.
(note: I'm a Collabora employee and have worked on Apertis in the past, including the rust-coreutils transition)
