For more information, see the 3.1.3 release notes and the download page." MINIX3 will now also release weekly snapshots.

I actually used Minux as my OS for a time being, but the install included GPL software. I didn't feel like going through hundreds of small programs and risking the chance of leaving some GPL software, so I uninstalled it.

It may be handy for embedded systems, but it doesn't have to be limited to that.

Just out of curiosity, unless you plan on redistributing said software, why would you care if the software was GPL, BSD, MIT, Apache, CPL, etc. licensed? Those are copyright licenses and only apply to modifications and redistribution of the code and/or binary. As far as actual usage is concerned, they are indistinguishable to the end user.
