but FSF still owned the copyright of the codes of EGCS; so it wasn't
reuniting with FSF interfering with technical decisions.
At the time, nobody explained that the SC concluded the EGCS
experience was a failure and therefore the EGCS community
should surrender and abandon the very reasons it emerged.
It was my understanding that it was a compromise, but the
EGCS community retains all rights to make technical
decisions without disruptive interferences from FSF
