Honest question: What does dual licensing MIT + Apache-2.0 accomplish that just Apache-2.0 doesn't?

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
Any plans to spin it out as an egui UI library?
You can just use the crate. I’m using it in personal projects: re_ui = "0.6.0"
Interesting. Does that include the UI styling only or also the custom components?
Update: look at rustdoc and I'm not seeing components, or at least not many

"Requiring both MIT and Apache 2.0 as inbound licenses for contributions means that anyone making a contribution is providing the Apache 2.0 patent grant. And then having MIT and Apache 2.0 as outbound licenses people can use Rust under means that Rust provides widespread compatibility with all sorts of other FOSS licenses, including GPLv2."

Very interesting, thanks.
The link also mentions other alternatives that weren't around when Rust got its licenses, but that do exist now, so that's good to know.
It also brought me to learn about the incompatibility between Apache-2.0 and GPLv2, of which I didn't know about:

#25I don’t get it. Can some explain this like I was 5.
Re: Rerun 0.9 – a framework for visualizing streams of multimodal data
#26https://polyscope.run/data_adaptors/ has an interesting approach to handling custom C++ types. I wonder if that could carry over to this project.

#27Great to see continued development of rerun!
I'm a SLAM engineer and work with C++ and ROS1 mainly, so I am exited to see the C++ SDK about to be released. The ROS visualization tools can be a bit crusty, even in ROS2.
