[Pkg-rust-maintainers] rust-compiler-builtins_0.1.23-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

- you've removed LICENSE.txt from the orig.tar without appending +ds
  to the version number or documenting that removal; that's quite
  confusing, and difficult to fix if I ACCEPT this

- while I believe that you're correct that Sun nor David Schultz holds
  copyright on the Rust code (since in 1993--2005 Rust did not exist),
  there is a lot of explanatory plain text in those files upon which
  Sun presumably does hold copyright, e.g. in src/math/srf.rs.

  I don't see how that text could be relicensed as MIT/Apache-2.0 by
  the authors of the rust crate; the custom license text does not seem
  to permit that.

  I believe what you want is "License: SunCustom and (Apache-2.0 or
  Expat)" plus an explanation of which parts of the file SunCustom
  applies to and which parts the dual-licensing applies to.

  Similarly for libm/src/math/exp2{f,}.rs, fmaf.rs -- there is
  explanatory text *may* have come from the original authors and
  would thus be under a different license.
