It's fine, researchers won't be harmed by having to find a cheesy name for their rust-based project. Actuality they probably don't even need a trademark policy for doing this.

You need a name for your project when writing papers anyway.

The word “Rust” is all over the code repo, you’d need to do a massive change and you’ll lose the ability to merge upstream changes. “Rename the repo if you’re doing something meaningfully new with no intent to merge it upstream” is fine, but it’s not enough to avoid saying “Rust” in the version you distribute.

it's about the issues I mentioned in the other response, not about them using rust in some science project

it's quite easy to accidentally commit trade mark infringement if there is a restrictive policy about it and you "just fork on github"

while in many situations law cases probably would be shut down legal instability helps no one
