There is a new proposed trademark policy that bans the use of the "rust" trademark in domain names, package names and educational material (unless the educational material starts with a disclamer denouncing affiliation with the Rust (TM) Foundation https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/12e7tdb/rust_trademar...)
Yes, in many programming language ecosystems (including Rust), it is very common to use the language of the programming name in project names, library names, domain names, meeting names etc.
Suddenly saying this is not okay unless you get explicit approval beforehand is very unusual for an "open" programming language.
