The gold standard for Rust projects is to dual license them under the Apache license and MIT. Most Rust crates are licensed that way. The Apache license gives users better patent protection, while the MIT is compatible to (L)GPL version 2 only projects. It would be nice if you would switch the license to dual license. The earlier the easier it is :).

Thanks!

I'm personally fine with dual-licensing, but we should check with the Licensing Team. My understanding is that it should be OK. I filed bug 1408992 to make sure.
