Comment on Maestro, a Linux compatible kernel written in Rust.

I know this sounds cold, but I hope this fails simply because of it’s license. Trying to write a linux compatible kernel and licensing as MIT is basically asking to get railroaded by gigantic organizations. I hope they reconsider in the future.

  MIT is basically “do anything you want with it, I don’t care”. I means some company can reuse it in its closed source projects freely and without notice or royalty.
  
  There are plenty of other licenses that require you to also go open source if you include and/or modify it. Basically “you can use ot however you want, but if you modify it, it has to be open source as well”
