Rust does not hate GNU, and I'm not sure why anyone would have that misconception. It would be like saying that C hates GNU because the BSDs aren't GNU. The fact that there is less GNU-licensed Rust software than MIT-licensed Rust software is attributable to the simple fact that, in general, GNU has been ceding ground to MIT for more than 20 years.

Nor does the parent comment say that "Rust" hates GNU. A language can't hate anything for that matter.
