musl is far more POSIX compliant, secure, and cleaner code (no dirty hacks) than glibc. Not everything has to be a culture war. Do you use sudo (ISC-style)? Do you use curl (MIT-style, curl license)? Even OpenSSH isn’t GPL (BSD). Not everything is a plot; vulnerabilities happen regardless of what license you pick.

Also in addition to that info, I like about musl to be able to compile without relying on glibc, which is a “common” (notice I set it in quotes, don’t take it literally) source of dependency problem. Often if there is a glibc dependency problem, then you can’t do much about it, because the entire system relies on the correct one. With musl your application doesn’t depend on external library.

maybe they were making a comment on the licensing?
