Claims
-
The April 2023 trademark policy draft prompted widespread community questions, concerns, and confusion; the Rust Project Directors acknowledged that the wider project was insufficiently included in the drafting process and apologized.
"We recognize that the process and communication around it could have been better. Notably, the wider project was insufficiently included in the process. We were responsible for that and apologize."
-
The Project Directors stated their goal was to make a policy as permissive as possible without substantially giving up the right to define what Rust is and is not in the future.
"our goal is to make a policy that is as permissive as it can be without substantially giving up our right to define what Rust is and is not in the future. Not all open source projects have retained that right."
