Violation of these norms is often characterized as being rude. The fact that you didn't take issue with that part shows some acknowledgement that you were out of line.

I've said what I had to say and I'm prepared to leave at that. Let's see if you're big enough to do the same.

Well, here it goes. Apple and the likes finally got what they want.
We not only have to deal with anti-user practices like Android phones without keys for locked bootloaders in newer architectures which came after GPLv2 was released, but also with steering committees from Glibc and GCC agreeing to give more power to corporations because reasons.
Individuals are being given the option to not assign Copyright. And Corporations are getting the benefit of this change. And it seems there won't be any clause to give permission to reassign Copyright after a period of time in order to not lose work nor losing control of the project.
This is like signing a contract with a record company. Too much rights lost for so little benefit.
Good luck and have a nice day.

The gcc and glibc are released under GPL anyway, so what’s the difference with contributers retaining their copy right?
After it is released under GPL with their code signed and contributers agreed, it is effectively not their code.
Even if they didn’t PR back to upstream, they ought to release the code for GPL itself demands it.
I didn’t see any loss of rights here.
