| We track licenses for third-party materials in two ways: |
| |
| * We use [REUSE](https://reuse.software) to track license information for |
| in-tree source files - both those authored by the Rust project and those |
| authored by third parties. See `REUSE.toml`, and our cached output of the |
| `reuse` tool which is committed to `license-metadata.json`. |
| * We use `cargo` to track license information for out-of-tree dependencies. |
| |
| These two sources of information are collected by the tool `generate-copyright` |
| into a file called `COPYRIGHT.html`, which is shipped with each binary release |
| of Rust. Please refer to that file for detailed information as to the components of |
| any given Rust release. We also produce a `COPYRIGHT-library.html` file which only |
| covers the subset of source code used in the Rust Standard Library, as opposed |
| to the toolchain as a whole. |
