Re: Rant about ChangeLog entries and commit messages

(Minor quibble) As copyright owner of GCC, the FSF is not bound by the
conditions of the licence it grants in the same way as licencees are
bound. So I don't think this provision in itself would mandate that
those who have copyright assignments to the FSF record their changes.

I was hoping nobody would notice that. ;-) 

Actually I think this is wrong, the FSF holds the copyright
by virtue of a copyright assignment which contains the
guarantee that the software will be distributed under the
GPL (at least that's my recollection of the assignment
document).
