Description

Hello, mdBook/Rust Team,

I'm the author of the @localizethedocs organization, which focuses on creating localization projects for open-source project documentation. For example:

Currently, the mdbook-docs-l10n project is about to accomplish the incubation. To place the mdBook logo at the top of the README, I need to upload the logo to the static repository and then access it via jsDelivr. I found the logo's SVG file here:

https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/blob/308768655929ec0d5ab440ddb71cae8a0e14fccb/crates/mdbook-html/front-end/images/favicon.svg

Therefore, I would like to confirm the license of this logo and what attribution is required.

Research direction

Start by reviewing crates/mdbook-html/front-end/images/favicon.svg and the linked mdBook repository context. Determine the logo's license and required attribution, then document the answer for the requester; this needs maintainer or project-history confirmation rather than a code change.
