I aimed to keep it in line with the “demonstration of the Rust ecosystem” goal, so it can also be a great introduction to Rust for beginners who are looking for a fun project to work on. It’s not perfect, but that’s part of the fun! It leaves room for potential language extensions (to make the AWK clone more complete) and optimizations up to the reader as a follow-up.


Public contribitions would be licensed under GPL and owned by the contributor. They would not be allowed to use those contributions themselves without releasing their product as open source.
You can do what’s called dual licensing, where you make contributes sign an agreement where they give up their code to the org so the org could take it proprietary.
Part of the controversy over Ubuntu’s changes to LXD was the change to this dual licensing setup from a permissive license.
