I often see Rust mentioned at the same time as MIT-type licenses.
Is it just a cultural thing that people who write Rust dislike Libre copyleft licenses? Or is it baked in to the language somehow?
Edit: It has been pointed out that I meant to say “copyleft”, not “libre”, so edited the title and body likewise.
Given the double negative and the ambiguity of “free,” I don’t know what you’re trying to say here.
You are allowed to license your code change under gpl, you do not have to use MIT just because the package author uses MIT. You can use GPL.
You can also use MIT or no license at all. it does not force you to use MIT
