So you are reasonably happy with the current rules as they affect the
License: field for Rust crate packages? Or is there anything you would
like to see changed?
I wouldn't say I'm happy, but at this point it's well established, and
we've updated our tools to automate almost all parts of the process
(with human review, of course).
The only thing that would make me happy would be saying that basic
"license arithmetic" would be OK (i.e. allowing the simplification of
"MIT AND (MIT OR Apache-2.0)" to just "MIT" (since "MIT"
already
implies "MIT OR Apache-2.0"), but I don't think this is going to
happen ;)
