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 -- Gaby
