The website states: "OpenVMM is a modular, cross-platform, general-purpose Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), written in Rust."

I'd leave out the "written in Rust", because who cares, but I think it's in the license terms for Rust that you need to include that in when communication your project. The modular and cross-platform is much more interesting that the implementation language, and much more relevant for the majority of the users. I'd focus on that if I wrote the documentation and marketing material. One excuse I'd make is that the link is to the Github repository, where it's perhaps more relevant that you're informed that you'll be looking at Rust code.

Is that true? That the license requires the addition of "written in Rust" to announcements? I looked and couldn't find the requirement. But, agree generally with your points.

I think that might have been a joke.

That is a joke.

It was a joke, rust is under a normal very permissive set of open source licenses (MIT or Apache2 at the users option)

My bad. Face palm.
