#Rust seems to have grown an individualist community, with all its tiny packages hosted in a non-curated repo, with its rejection of copyleft, and with its disregard of #FreeSoftware “community standards” developed by distro folks over the years.
I feel that introducing Rust right into once collectively-developed code bases at the core of GNU/Linux will have unpredictable and detrimental effects.
@civodul copyleft snobbery has no place in free software. public domain is free software too.
@sneak I think this is less about copyleft snobbery and more about concerns regarding anti-copyleft snobbery.
It's one thing to choose non-copyleft licenses for some projects after various considerations. (There's the LGPL to cover those use-cases, but maybe license simplicity is a criteria too for someone.)
But if a group systematically avoids copyleft licenses, that tells us something about their worldview.
