Actually, the foundation's motivations seem pretty straightforward and sensible. The issue seems to originate from the commonality/ambiguity between the Rust Foundation and the Rust programming language. The fact that you can release a library through the official repository with a name like 'rust-core' is bizarre. The foundation asking you to please not do that is entirely reasonable. Going forward, I'd suggest reserving crate names with a specific prefix (one that isn't already in common use) for official crates. If the foundation is using the same logo as the project, that's not ideal. Just design a separate logo for one or the other and license the one for the language freely.
