But how could anyone reasonably claim they are Rust, particularly given the large reach of it's online services, like docs, crates.io and rustup? Those trademarks are very unlikely to produce anything except another round of debian's icy rebrands.
No, Python is dead because the maintainers decided to create a new, defective, language with a intentionally-misleading name, and then threatened trademark lawsuits against anyone who kept maintaining the original. That sort of thing is (I assume) why lvass was asking about trademark waivers in the first place.
The most used programming language is dead? Please stop the FUD. Python is doing great. Calling it a new language is insane. There's way less difference than in early Cpp versus late Cpp.
No, there was an issue with branding because Debian was diverging too much from mainline Firefox, and not keeping up to date with security patches. Not some corporate malintent.
