I ran this video and the document it addresses by a U.S. intellectual property attorney. He confirmed that the document is primarily composed of boilerplate language, with the exception of the firearm-related provisions, which are likely unenforceable. Observing a non-attorney attempting to understand and interpret legal jargon is neither beneficial nor constructive, and frankly is embarrassing for the content creator. While I am not defending Rust, it is likely that they engaged external legal counsel to draft this document, who in turn may have utilized a standard template with minimal modifications for this purpose.
All of the outrage is unwarranted.
