The source code of the libraries on which the program/library depends are downloaded (by Cargo) from the crates.io registry, and kept in a local cache (CARGO_HOME, by default $HOME/.cargo). > > Are all the libraries in that default list free/libre? > No, some libraries/programs in the crates.io registry are non-free (but their source code is always available). This is because, to use your words in your other post, the crates.io registry is a "repo site where in principle anyone can put a program", and not a list of "programs that in principle you may wish to install side by side in one computer". As I said in an earlier post, there are currently 115402 available libraries/programs in the crates.io registry, and out of these the vast majority (at least 110000) use free software licenses. The recommended license for Rust libraries/programs is a dual MIT/Apache-2.0 (which is how Rust itself is licensed), but users are not forced to use these licenses.
