Ubuntu is swapping its time sync tool for a Rust-based version - OMG! Ubuntu
Licence is MIT / Apache, of course.
EDIT: of course the relicensing is the problem here. Alas we're in an all-time low interest in Free and Open Source politics, ideologies, and organization so the Big Evil Corpos continue to do their thing, one cog per time.

in reply to molten_boron • • •I also wondered why this is a big news. Usually those tools are tried and tested over years of development and only run once a day or boot or even less. Don't know if it has that much of an impact.
It's cool and all, kudos to the devs, but idk why it's posted here and an article is written about it.

I honestly don't know the ins and outs, but it's probably relevant to people concerned about it.
