I think all the BSDs are pushing to remove GPL utilities from the base 
system but it takes time to do that.  It may even surprise you that 
NetBSD and OpenBSD are trying to replace gcc with pcc (BSDL C 
compiler).  Anyways, why not write or improve BSDL equivalent utilities 
to replace their GPL counterparts rather than creating a fork?
