is there something about rust which precludes copyleft licensing? (programming.dev)

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.

Love how *BSD-obsessed people bend over backwards and find all sorts of loopholes to justify their garbage license that lets Microsoft abuse their entire goddamn OS for their own horrible purposes.

Shame on you.

    Lmao that my pedanticism could be perceived as BSD advocacy - fwiw, I primarily use GNU/Linux, I develop GPL-licensed software, and I think GPLv3 or AGPLv3 are good choices for many new projects starting today.

    My opinions about the history and future of copyleft are somewhat complicated but I didn't mention any opinions in the comment you're replying to - I was just correcting your factual misunderstandings about the accepted definitions of these terms.
