#Rust seems to have grown an individualist community, with all its tiny packages hosted in a non-curated repo, with its rejection of copyleft, and with its disregard of #FreeSoftware “community standards” developed by distro folks over the years.
I feel that introducing Rust right into once collectively-developed code bases at the core of GNU/Linux will have unpredictable and detrimental effects.

•Cynical me would say it has to do with the intersection between capitalism and open source, pushing people to self promote their work as much as possible to advance their professional career. (To be clear: I'm personally guilty of doing that to some extent).
I'm not only answering to rant though 😀
The recent Nix social-related issues made me dig quite a bit into free software community management best practices and think more about how to facilitate collaboration (and not competition) between the community members.

Could you expand a bit on that? Are you talking about technical standards or social standards here?
If you're talking about social standards, could you point me to some resources, I'd like to read more about it.

•Or is this related to the Flakes and RFC discussions? I saw at least some post about that.

•I think part of the issue with software like Rust is that it's based around technical superiority as the ultimate goal, and "open source" is merely seen as the better way to achieve technical superiority.

•Also `stack new' without any commandline switches create default package template files with BSD3 license. (One example of someone who raised this issue - https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/5459)
