We had this discussion before, will need to find where that was.
I don't have any interest in bringing such issues here because I don't want to be responsible for:
- verifying that supplied licensing information is correct
- censoring crates
This list is supposed to be a resource and overview for people who are interested in doing something with Rust and MCUs and to them the specific license could not matter any less. Just because a chosen license doesn't suit a commercial purpose (and yes commercial != professional) does not mean it is not a useful resource. And vice versa: If someone wrote a killer commercial product every Rust user should know about, why would I not want to mention it? Not everything Awesome is necessarily also free.

I'd strongly recommend against limiting this list to crates that are published under the same license terms as Rust.
While it is true that licensing is important in professional environments, it is the responsibility of the (professional) user to evaluate the licenses themself; no level of carefulness on the side of the list maintainers can spare them that. Users of the cited Linux ecosystem are well aware that they ship more components than just the kernel, eg. Linux plus a variously licensed glibc. Especially on the side of microcontrollers, things can be messy (though on the particular crate I think that this license formulation is overly careful).
Many different licenses are around in the free software ecosystem. None of them preclude commercial use in general, and while some commercial entities prefer not to link against works licensed under the AGPL or similar, others can well use those licenses as well, or contact the authors for alternative licensing options.
If something needs to change in the awesome documentation, we could annotate the links with a short tag of the license they are published under (typically "Apache2 or MIT", otherwise "GPL3+" or "proprietary non-OSI-approved"), but given that links either go to git repositories or cargo pages, and that both prominently display the license of their content, I don't see any need for action.

What about a tag like [compliant license]?
it is hight time to conform with the rest of the rust community.
See discussion in Common and coherent license policy for rust-embedded and drivers? ยท Issue #57 ยท rust-embedded/wg
from awesome-embedded-rust.
@getreu Who defines what a [compliant license] is? If anything we could show the license(s) and let the users decide whether that's compliant with their intended use or not. However I do not see any interest both having and maintaining that so without a volunteer to write that up and to maintain whatever people would agree on this is not going to go anywhere...
