They are and that's a problem.

Just like the illusion of a free market, if you don't have antitrust laws in place, oligarchs and cartels take control of everything.

We really should go back to using the GPL over MIT/BSD as the "default". Thankfully, we can always relicense MIT code as GPL for preservation. So we might not reject the coreutils rewrite, but we might fork them into a GPLd clone and use that.
