I have answered this question in #Linux on efnet's irc network from 94
until 98 when I left that channel. And since in various other irc
channels.
In addition, as with all FSF copyrighted software a copyright
assignment and waiver mist be signed and completed before any patches
can make it into a GNU project. I have one on file from about 2001 or
so, maybe a bit later to replace GNUstep's NSHost and related
components to introduce a dual v4/v6 support into the networking code
which I backed out on due to copyright concerns. I don't like having
to sign away rights to contribute my time for free to any project.
Different story if I'm being paid though.
The GNU ld problem is one that should go away and should have a long
time ago, but like I say, I won't give up my rights to make it happen.
