Putting aside the ideological discussion about software licenses, saying that “they” are forcing Rust into the Linux kernel is a bold claim when Linus Torvalds clearly doesn’t mind the inclusion and even encourages it for example in driver code, at least as an experiment.
He really wasn’t at first, and it was extremely clear that he allowed it in as an olive branch to the Rust community. A “let’s see if I’m wrong by giving it a chance” moment.

Linus Torvalds is the last person to extend an olive branch to anyone contributing kernel code. Anyway, big news: https://lwn.net/Articles/1049831/
