Slowly but surely the Rust language is making its way into Linux. I talked with Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman about where they see Rust and Linux working together.
I’ve seen this issue be raised before and I do not think it’s comparable to the Firefox/Thunderbird trademark issue. The Rust trademark covers the Rust compiler and implementation, not all code written in Rust. The Rust trademark thus would not apply to Linux in any way.
Consider the case of Tauthon, a fork continuation of Python 2.7, originally named Python 2.8. The name “Python 2.8” implied this was an officially supported release of Python, and Guido van Rossum requested a name change.
