Is there a term yet for Rust projects rewriting GPL code to get it under non-gpl licenses?

Rustwashing?

What does rust have to do with it?

The pattern I see here is people vibing slop rewrites of GPL projects to get them under more favorable licenses. Rust just happens to be the language this one picked (for various reasons that are not very relevant here.)
