short version: gcc is about to become more problematic than rustc with respect to violation of a non-free Trademark License created by the Rust (Mozilla) Foundation. https://developers.slashdot.org/story/22/07/17/0110250/gcc-rust-approved-by-steering-committee-beta-likely-next-april with gcc being literally the bedrock of FOSS that's about to become an extremely serious situation. unfortunately, unlike the rustc scenario the non-Free Rust Trademark License directly conflicts with the GPL *as well*: Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. the rust Trademark Licence explicitly restricts and curtails those rights. this is in addition to violating 50% of DFSG Section 2 as already outlined in bug #1013920. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1013920#60 -- System Information:
