It is also to note the freedom issues with Rust trademark as those are
similar to Firefox trademark issues.

Uses that require explicit approval

Distributing a modified version of the Rust programming language or
the Cargo package manager and calling it Rust or Cargo requires
explicit, written permission from the Rust core team. We will usually
allow these uses as long as the modifications are (1) relatively small
and (2) very clearly communicated to end-users.

Selling t-shirts, hats, and other artwork or merchandise requires
explicit, written permission from the Rust core team. We will usually
allow these uses as long as (1) it is clearly communicated that the
merchandise is not in any way an official part of the Rust project and
(2) it is clearly communicated whether profits benefit the Rust
project.

Using the Rust trademarks within another trademark requires written
permission from the Rust core team except as described above.
