General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
Rustls is a modern TLS library written in Rust.
Rustls is used in production at many organizations and projects. We aim to maintain reasonable API surface stability but the API may evolve as we make changes to accommodate new features or performance improvements.
We have a roadmap for our future plans. We also have benchmarks to prevent performance regressions and to let you evaluate rustls on your target hardware.
If you'd like to help out, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
The maintainers pronounce "rustls" as rustles (rather than rust-TLS), but we don't feel strongly about it.
