Like who?
Anyway, it would be a good thing anyway because "friends of Mozilla" are likely some of the most dedicated FOSS people working in software.
> it is not outside the realm of possibility for Rust to switch to an awful license
It is absolutely outside the realm of possibility. It is as impossible as Python or any other major language doing it. Millions of lines of Rust are in production at for-profit and non-profit orgs, as well as in FOSS projects.
Even if they did it, Rust would be immediately forked and continue as it was before under a different name.

I disagree. It is a long-term technical issue, because every viable browser engine so far has had many millions of person-hours put into it. Ladybird isn't close and likely never will be.
