A proposed new trademark policy drafted by the Rust Foundation, which owns the Rust and Cargo trademarks, is going down badly with the wider Rust community, thanks to restrictions including forbidding the use of Rust in the name of a tool for Rust or software written in Rust, or in parts of a domain name or subdomain.

I 'm confused; aren't all variable names i, j, x or y?

Quote: Clause 4.3.1 states that “Using the Marks in the name of a tool for use in the Rust toolchain, a software program written in the Rust language, or a software program compatible with Rust software, will most likely require a license. The “RS” abbreviation can be used instead.”
Is RS an acronym for Really Stupid, or homophone for arse.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

By Norwegian law, a trademark cannot be a simple, well known noun. It must have something 'new' to it - like another patent, it should not be well known at the time you ask for protection. 'Rust' has been known for millenia, and would not, by itself, be accepted as a protected trade mark in Norway (the word is the same in Norwegian).
I was convinced that the laws were similar in the US of A. Many years ago, Intel managed to make '486' a concept almost as well defined as 'Scotch' and 'Thermos', but competitors also benefited from the (non-protected) '486' mark. So for the next development, Intel tried to seek trademark protection for '586'. It was denied, Intel appealed to the court, and the judge turned them down, stating that 'the number 586 has been in use for a long time in several different application areas'. (I wish I had saved the exact wording, this is from memory.)
If you can not have '586' as a legally protected trade mark, I am surprised if you can have 'Rust' protected.

In Italy it works also in reverse, if a commercial name becomes so commonly linked to a certain product category, it becomes free to use (after a while).
Sottilette is the italian brand name for Kraft's cheese slices, and since for a long while they were virtually the only cheese slices commercialized in Italy it became a common name. When Kraft sued some companies for selling their own slices calling them sottilette it's been ruled that it can no longer be considered a trademarked name due to the widespread correlation between their name and the generic product. Indeed now their product line is called Sottilette LE Originali (literally "The Original Sottilette").

I discovered that this is in accordance with
DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015/2436 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks[^], Article 20:
A trade mark shall be liable to revocation if, after the date on which it was registered:
(a) as a result of acts or inactivity of the proprietor, it has become the common name in the trade for a product or service in respect of which it is registered;
[...]
Here in Norway, lots of people refuse to believe that 'primus' (portable kerosene stove), 'thermos', 'unbraco' and several other common nouns have a trade mark origin. I guess this goes in other countries as well, like 'Scotch' and 'Kool-Aid' and probably a lot of others in the US of A.

Is the Italian version legally cheese at all? Kraft Singles (the think plastic wrapped yellow-orange squares whose sole virtue is melting nicely on burgers) in the US have so many additives and fillers that Kraft is not legally allowed to call it cheese.

In Norway, this surimi based product cannot be sold as 'krabbepinner' (a direct translation of 'crab sticks'), as it is not made from crab at all. So it is sold as 'crab sticks', using the English term.
A number of years ago, Dahls Brewery of Trondheim, Norway, was making Norway's very best lemon soft drink, marketing it as 'Real Lemon Soda'. The authorities went after them, ordered them to stop the selling of it, using false advertising. Dahls protested: The regulations say that you can uses terms like 'Lemon' (or orange, apple or whatever is relevant) if the natural juice content is at least 8%. Their 'Lemmy' had 12% natural lemon juice! Yet, they were not allowed to sell Lemmy while the case was processed by the courts. The courts decided that Dahls was allowed to sell Lemmy as 'Lemon Soda', but not as real Lemon Soda  . It took the courts a year to reach this conclusion. In the meantime, competing lemon sodas had taken over the market. For a period, Dahls tried to market Lemmy as 'Lemon Soda' (but not 'real'!), but never managed to recoup any significant market share. After a couple of years, Lemmy was discontinued. I still miss it.
Some times, law makers / authorities behave in ways that, if duplicated by an individual would cause that individual to be taken care of by personnel in light green coats in subdued light.
