In theory I think it's a fine exercise rewriting tools like this. I'm not an expert on anything, least of all licenses, but going from GNU's GPL-3 license to uutils MIT license is perhaps the most noteworthy:

Unlike the GPL, the MIT license does not require that derivative works be open source. Developers can incorporate MIT-licensed code into their projects without being required to release the source code of their entire project.
