Clarify the Rust compiler's licensing status

[emilyalbini]

There is some uncertainty in the Rust compiler's licensing status, and we should work to address that.

Work has been started to create licensing guidelines for contributors, and a WG has been created to handle the issue. Their first meeting was on June 12th (minutes).

Item added by before we transitioned to this issue tracker for our agenda.

This issue is an item on the Core Team's public agenda, and the team will discuss it every week during the triage meeting. The goal of the issue is to provide a public record of our discussion, so only members of the Core Team are allowed to comment here.

Please get in touch with the Core Team by emailing core-team@rust-lang.org if you have something to add!
