Contributions summary:Chris primarily focused on adding support for Rust dependencies to the `licensefinder` project. This involved implementing a `CargoPackage` class to parse and represent Cargo-specific dependency information and integrating it within the existing package manager framework. Further contributions included fixing lints and adjusting the code to use the older Ruby syntax and a ruby image rather than RVM.
