Rust Core Team + Mozilla To Create A Rust Foundation

Rust's core team and Mozilla are announcing plans to create a Rust foundation with the hopes of establishing this legal entity by year's end. The trademarks and related assets of Rust, Cargo, and Crates.io will belong to this foundation. Work is well underway on establishing this foundation with originally coming to the idea of possibly creating an independent Rust foundation last year, now pushed along by the recent Mozilla layoffs and the global pandemic. This should allow the Rust community more safety rather than being reliant upon a sole organization (Mozilla) and help foster growth and open up new possibilities.

Lay(off)ing the foundation for Rust's future

    They already have one of those, which is why I'll use the language but refuse to contribute any of my code changes back to it or its libraries.

      What's this "we" stuff? I very much doubt you've ever actually contributed code to a project, much less maintained one.

      Some modules are, yes. I don't care to have nightmares though, so I never open the source files for Perl itself. Some Rust libraries have contributions from me as well, right up until they added a CoC.
