My understanding is that this just adds an unnecessary level of
indirection and traffic to the GCC list.  Can we update the web page
to provide more accurate information?

The FSF has had too many problems with people filling out the wrong forms, of filing them out incorrectly, wasting the time of the FSF copyright clerk. So FSF policy forbids us from putting the forms anyplace publicly accessible. Instead the forms should be requested from the FSF copyright clerk. We can help with a little prequalifying, helping decide who should ask for forms and which forms they should ask for. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
