    The real concern with replacing C tools with Rust ones is that it’s an opportunity for useful idiots/scumbags to change the license to something that benefits corporations at the expense of the public.

    We should be ignoring all attempts to subvert copyleft, but I know that’s too high of a bar for most of you to reach.

    Apple and Sony will be happy, though.
