Will trademark concerns be addressed?

[irelativism]

Now that the rust project will be independent of Mozilla, and therefore of its trademark policy, and related mozilla media-guide. Will the concerns of the Rust trademark be addressed, so that the freedom to improve the source code and especially the ability to give back such improvements, patch the codebase be respected? Given currently without “explicit approval”, except for non-commercial usage, one would be infringing on it. And if so, will a similar policy to what python and perl have in place be adopted?

the PR #33 is relating this and my proposal for such to be included in the FAQ. Also this issue was discussed, in the past in #rust-lang/rust/issues/53287 and rejected in #rust-lang/rust/issues/53287#issuecomment-414472372 by mozilla team.

The foundation will be reviewing the trademark policy, but it will ultimately be up to the board to decide the terms that are selected.

@nikomatsakis Sounds good! I think my references to past issues on this, PR and comments might prove helpfull. And I think the team should look into how the python and the perl project manage that, given many believe they reached a good balance, on that dificult subject. Thanks nonetheless for the feedback, all your previous contributions for this project. And goodluck with all the foundation work.

P.S.Sorry for any misspellings on the issue report or PR but english is not my native language. Will hopefull hear back on this topic in the future (dont think Im gonna have this account by then, given Im not a fan of github, so you can reach me at [email protected]). Cheers, Alexis.
