I don't understand your point. GCC is an FSF project. The SC is acting here as an agent of the FSF. What the statement you quote means is that the SC will manage the project on behalf of the FSF in such a way that no single organization will have undo influence on it and the FSF: there's no way to read this as saying that the FSF, who's project it is in the first place, can't have undo influence ON ITSELF! > >> 1. The FSF, as an organization, clearly now has control over the project. It always has: GCC is an FSF project and always has been.
