Yes (iff they have been changed in 2004). (Of course I have no authority 
to speak on these matters, but I searched gcc's mailing list, and this 
is discussed in the thread following 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-01/msg00018.html Unfortunately people 
with broken mailers participated, so you might have to check through 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-01 to find all details)

Another thing that should be done is changing GNU G95 to GCC in the 
copyright boilerplates at the beginnings of files. I have a patch for 
this, and I will post it once my copyright assignment is through. Not 
that I think that such a change is copyrightable, but I thought it would 
be a good idea to hold off anyway.
