I've contributed to this project, and yeah, this was a major concern for me while I was doing it. If it shared a license with GNU coreutils, then code sharing would be free and the project would be built much faster because I could just use coreutils's algorithms. As it is, I haven't done any real, hard work for it because frankly, I won't want to re-invent that wheel.
The project isn't terribly far along. I wonder if just starting a GPLed fork and building on that instead wouldn't be a better idea.
