As most of you are probably aware, glibc is also discussing whether or not to remove the copyright assignment mandate to the FSF. I have posted a comment there regarding that, now available at: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-June/128303.html … which is supplemented by a longer essay that I published here: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jun/30/who-should-own-foss-copyrights/
I believe there are many complex issues related to the issue of where copyrights for Free Software projects like GCC go, and while I've written quite a lot of detail there, I think some of what I've written may be useful as GCC considers how to build long-term robust plans to assure that the copyleft of GCC is upheld for the long-term. -- Bradley M.
