Ok, then please consider changing "GCC will continue to be developed, distributed, and licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0" to "GCC will continue to be developed, distributed, and licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or any later version as published by the Free Software Foundation." in your announcement (in case you are publishing it somewhere else) to avoid misunderstandings.
