However, if the trademark restrictions are the only other issue, that also does not seem like a reason to exclude it from the distro.
However, it's not a freedom issue, so it doesn't explain why it is excluded from the distro and conflicts with the "your-freedom" package, so I wondered if there might be some additional issues with Rust. So it sounds like the Hyperbola devs consider Rust to be bloatware, in which case it makes sense that they would want to exclude it from their own software like Iceweasel-UXP and Icedove-UXP. In our case, we were lucky to find the initial rust commit and revert it." This gets a little more complex, so it helps to spend some time going through commits that your application made during the transition to Rust and revert them. If your application has Rust dependencies (MOZ_RUST_URLPARSE), they must be removed. As such, you will spend a fair amount of time removing bloat from your application which is no longer supported by UXP. The only mention of Rust I found on the wiki is on this page:
due to that trademark issue.Ĭan you link to where they said this? I also use Hyperbola on some of my machines and did notice that Rust is missing.
> EDIT: One of the devs whose operating system I use seems to think Rust is non-free. I found the link in one of the pages that *you* linked to. Hmm? Python has similiar restrictions? Can I see the link?
