▲ 48 ▼ is there something about rust which precludes copyleft licensing? (programming.dev) submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by some@programming.dev to c/opensource@lemmy.ml 38 comments fedilink hide all child comments I often see Rust mentioned at the same time as MIT-type licenses. Is it just a cultural thing that people who write Rust dislike Libre copyleft licenses? Or is it baked in to the language somehow? Edit: It has been pointed out that I meant to say "copyleft", not "libre", so edited the title and body likewise.

My guess: they didn't want to scare anyone. They really think that MIT is free and that anyone shall do with it whatever they like. They are not afraid that someone takes the rust code base and produces a proprietary fork and make money from it. permalink fedilink source parent
