The stats show that people are more likely to be attacked by a shark on days when they had ice cream. Eating ice cream does not make you more likely to be attacked by a shark. They are just both things that happen at the beach.
So many Rust projects are dual-licensed under Apache or MIT. It’s just a convention that many Rust projects have adopted. Yes, it’s true that there’s nothing intrinsic about Rust the language that requires a certain license type. But it doesn’t mean that the Rust community hasn’t adopted a convention of licensing with pushover licenses. That’s my point.
