I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I'm not a dev so I can't really judge. What are your thoughts?

Then why are people saying you can't distribute modified versions at all without permission?

You can't distribute it with the Rust brand. That part is still true. You could, for example, call it GolfLang, and no one would bother you. Most probably misinformation to snub on a new project.

Rust isn't a new project. It looks like it's the most popular language now. I still don't believe someone made so much drama because of branding restrictions. Firefox have them too. I'll have to research it myself. Maybe there's a loophole or law abuse in this situation.
