Why are trying to replace the Gnu tools with non-GPL stuff again?

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.

Ssh is not a gnu application.

Attacker hacks into a system, sees that it’s running a GPL libc rather than a MIT libc and then politely excuses themselves because they aren’t willing to share their spoils. Bad code is bad code, no matter what license it’s written in.
