I've seen over a dozen shell implementations. Busybox had 5 of them when I
handed it off. None have claimed to be a public domain equivalent licensed bash
clone (the Defective Annoying SHell claims to be "posix"), no external shell is
going to be integrated with the other toybox commands so that an "echo" builtin
wouldn't be a duplicate implementation, no external project nailed to the side
of toybox would share lib/*.c code.

If you want a standalone shell as a separate package, nothing is stopping you.
