Ferrous Systems has announced
that its Ferrocene Rust compiler will be released under the Apache-2.0 and
MIT licenses.

Ferrocene is the main Rust compiler – rustc – but quality managed
and qualified for use in automotive and industrial environments
(currently by ISO 26262 and IEC 61508) by Ferrous Systems. It
operates as a downstream to the Rust project, further increasing
its testing and quality on specific platforms.

The license is free, but this is not being run as an open-source project;
specifically, contributions from the “general public” are not accepted.
