i've opened up a second bug for gcc because it is also about to become affected, not in the same way, but in a worse way. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1015242
whilst 50% of DFSG 2 is violated by the Rust Trademark (as it stands, with the new clauses), gcc is in an even worse situation because the Rust Trademark conficts directly with the GPL as well. this is a complex multi-faceted issue: please do not close the bugreport until all facets of the conflict brought to your attention have been resolved. or... you can... but that will force me into the position of re-raising another report, and i am too busy to do that, and you risk me giving up and not caring. l.
