Add info about Rust port in README cc @bodil

cmuratori commented 3 years ago

I am concerned that the license appears to be different. Is there a reason it is not the same license as the original?

yerke commented 3 years ago

Only @bodil would be able to answer that. To be fair, most of Rust open source software is licensed Apache/MIT, so even in that case, it likely wouldn’t have been zlib.

Will the difference in license prevent it from being added to unofficial ports?

cmuratori commented 3 years ago

Well, it seems like the license should probably be the same, so people don't have to be confused about it... the other port listed here uses the same license.

It's unlikely that the license will be changed to zlib. Should I close this PR?

NoHatCoder commented 3 years ago

Is it really such a big issue? You don't have to agree that it is the best license choice to make a simple link.

cmuratori commented 3 years ago

I went ahead and fixed this by adding a note to the readme that explicitly mentions the possibility of unofficial ports having more restrictive licenses, so hopefully no one will be confused.
