This is an article from Hyperbola about the Rust trademark. It claims
that Rust has a freedom issue.
<https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:main:rusts_freedom_flaws>

I searched for this in the Guix bug and devel mailing list archive but
did not see it.

I would like to know how others interpret this claim of Rust having a
freedom issue.

# Linux-libre

If Rust does have a freedom issue then there is potential that it could
have an impact on Linux-libre.  Recently there was a RFC for adding
support for Rust to the Linux kernel
<https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/4/14/1023>.  Linus Torvalds's response is
here <https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/4/14/1099>.

# Responses on Freenode

I asked about Hyperbola's claim of a Rust freedom issue on
##rust@ire.freenode.net and these were some of the responses I
received.  However it appears that the core of Hyperbola's claim
remains unaddressed by these responses.

"<SpaceManiac> the trademarks are now owned by the Rust Foundation
rather than Mozilla, but the Rust Media Guide has not been updated to
reflect this"

"<lifeless> bone-baboon: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53287
is closed by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/59748"

"<lifeless> bone-baboon: whether you consider is a freedom issue or not
is a matter of viewpoint - debian doesn't seem to care at this point,
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;package=cargo
shows no bugs open related to trademarks"
