I was looking into Hyperbola Linux, when I came across this post. In this post it is outlined why Hyperbola Linux is switching to a BSD base. A bold move, but I hope it works out for the team.

However, I am curious about the four points they outlined as reasons for switching away from the Linux kernel. Is the Linux kernel really careening down a path of instability and binary blobs, or is this just a case of the Linux kernel’s development not fitting with Hyperbola’s design goals?

      Someone should fork Rust and rebrand it as Stainless just to get past the licensing issues.

          You are completely correct insofar as it’s not necessary on its own merits, but certain purists find it a consistent talking point and basically all that has to be done to satisfy them AFAIK is to actually just fork the code so the trademark claims can be left to one side. Everybody can be aware that Stainless, or whatever name, is just Rust with trademarks stripped. Then they can recommend Stainless – or whatever name – instead of forking everything to get away from Rust.
