Rust Foundation IS DOING WHAT????

The new proposed trademark policy of the rust foundation is absolutely nuts, lets go over it

Hey, Like and Subscribe. I didn't say it, so don't make me, do your part ass holes

So they also implement ownership model on rust logo as well. Borrow checker: "you cannot borrow logo as mutable"

Rust just went full Oracle.
Never go full Oracle.

Thank you, Rust Foundation. I see people programming in C and C++ till 2083

This is what happens when you hire trademark/IP lawyers who do not understand open source or software and who are not reigned in by the client at all.

Rust is so fast it even made the next year's april fools joke in advance

[sebastiaanstoffels]

We should create a fork and call it "Crust". The logo can be a piece of toast. It will be blazingly fast and memory safest. Only rule is, all packages must have the name crust in it.

This feels like the foundation going to extreme lengths to solve problems I'm not confident existed in the first place.

Community : "Let's make this language fun, easy and big!"
The Foundation: "We don't do that here"

It's sad to see this kind of behavior. I'm also expecting the Linux foundation to pull all commits and future plans of including Rust in the kernel as it could become a legal nightmare for them.

The R Foundation's lawyers are gonna have a field day when they learn the Rust Foundation is infringing their trademark.

[tommyflynn]

if you forked the r-word language, you could continue to merge changes from the r-word compiler into your own. It wouldn't be difficult to maintain, the r-word foundation can't stop you from continuously forking the compiler.

[MrMudbill]

This sounds like a fun challenge - make a website that violates as many of these guidelines as possible

[jayshartzer]

This smells like someone let a lawyer into the building

[ceriusgeek]

What a great way to convince engineers to adopt your language.

[JMurph]

I feel like this would be really hard to hold up in court.

Also I don't understand how the foundation and core lang team remain this far out of touch with the community. It reminds me of the async-await debacle, where the core lang team had a very strong idea of how they wanted to do it, did some polling, it was not the most popular solution by far, and then they went ahead with it anyway. That's aside from the problems with Pin structures used to implement async that introduced a whole slew of memory safety bugs. **The language itself does so many things right, but jeez sometimes they really do some asinine stuff.*

Oracle are known for being pretty anal about legal stuff, but they do allow you to write a Java course and put Java in the name.

[eheh]

I feel like its going to create a distance between the community and the Rust team, sad because the community is a big part of why I love Rust

[alfiedotwtf]

The Rust Foundation not only just blew their trust with the Rust community at large, they also blew their chances with the Linux community as well. Linus won't let Rust touch the kernel now if there's any sniff of a possible future lawsuit. What a wasted opportunity :(

Many companies will be too nervous to allow their developers to build their IP in Rust. It won't matter if a company legally can or can't. The sentiment around "licenses" simply has to make them nervous and companies will take the safe route, and say "no". Once the adoption starts decline, it'll remain in the gutters forever. And this is definitely going to be removed from the Kernel.
