Is this some sort of movement?
I was aware that some Rust software had been released under permissive licenses but I didn't know it was activism besides the obvious C-is-obsolete angle.
- steveklabnik 10mo agoIt’s not deliberate activism. It’s two things: Monomorphizarion makes the GPL weird. Rust is dual licensed under Apache/MIT, and so most people choose the same as a default if they don’t feel strongly about licensing.
