> When asked how having multiple competing repos all claiming to be Rust would be beneficial to the Rust community they had nothing to say Being able to call the commands of a fork rustc, cargo etc would allow trivial drop-in replacement in case the official toolchain takes a bad turn (for example with analytics). Furthermore, being able to use Rust in your fork's name (e.g. g-b-Rust) makes discovering better forks a lot easier, as opposed to the names insanity with Firefox derivatives There's just little benefit for the public in this Mozilla's fixation with trademarks, open source thrived for decades without it
(I know that Rust is not in Mozilla anymore, but the legal culture evidently persisted) |
