The Rust language gets its own foundation

The Rust blog announcesthe creation of an independent foundation for the language. "Thisfoundation's first task will be something Rust is already great at: takingownership. This time, the resource is legal, rather than something in aprogram. The various trademarks and domain names associated with Rust,Cargo, and crates.io will move into the foundation, which will also takefinancial responsibility for the costs they incur. We see this firstiteration of the foundation as just the beginning. There's a lot ofpossibilities for growing the role of the foundation, and we're excited toexplore those in the future."
