I'm not complaining, but am a bit surprised to hear Drew's praises. Isn't Alpine, by using BSD-licensed muslc instead of glibc, OpenRC instead of Linux-only systemd, and by its overall business-friendly focus on containers enabling distribution free of GPL restrictions conflicting with Drew's FSF and GNU engagement?



Can't speak for him but from looking at his work, I think he also likes minimalism and human scale software (if that's a thing).

Of course it's probably not the license he'd prefer but you can still appreciate something for what it is despite the license.
