  1. LICENSE-MIT: Remove inaccurate (misattributed) copyright notice 

    LICENSE-MIT contains the line "Copyright (c) 2015 The Rust Project
Developers", which implies that an entity called "The Rust Project
Developers" holds copyrights in Rust. Rust contributors retain
their copyrights, and do not assign them to anyone by contributing.
Remove the inaccurate notice.

  2. COPYRIGHT: Provide a better explanation of Rust copyrights 

    Avoid implying that any copyrights have been assigned to a separate
entity (such as "The Rust Project Developers") Rust contributors retain
their copyrights, and do not assign them to anyone by contributing.

Remove the inaccurate notice, and provide a clear explanation. Avoid
stating that all files contain copyright notices and/or license notices,
and especially avoid suggesting that the license terms only apply to
files marked as such.

In the process, this also drops a separate notice that implies only some
copyrights are retained by contributors (suggesting that others are
not).
