:With the Matt's recently new move/method[1] on GCC and Binutils, do you

    There is no requirement to submit patches back to the FSF.  We only
    need to make the source code available, which we do.  The whole FSF
    copyright assignment issue is only for contributions you wish to 
    submit back to the FSF for incorporation into the base product.
