I don't understand this. Why does the SC have little power in this
matter? Surely you could decide to ship GCC 4.4 with the old license,
as the official GCC maintainer? But you *choose* not to use this
power (perhaps for good reasons, but I'm unconvinced).
The GCC maintainers work on behalf of the FSF and in some matters defer
to the FSF. It's that simple.
