I must admit that this interpretation is quite new to me.
It certainly wasn't when EGCS reunited with gcc.
I disagree. "reuniting with GCC" means "reuniting with the FSF".
Richard's memory is correct here. We did not want
any perception of any company having undue influence.
EGCS was an experiment in development methodologies
that was intended to open up gcc. If successful,
the goal was to move from being a fork to being
the main GCC FSF development. There was never any
intention of becoming a non-FSF fork.
gcc 2.95 was where it reunited. The egcs fork
only existed from 1997 until April 1999 when 2.95
was released.
