●● IBM/Red Hat Adds Code of Censorship to an Important GNU Project, GCC (the Compiler), Despite Longstanding Opposition From RMS and FSF (the Origins of GNU)

Same time Red Hat is exposed as having begun to set up more obstructions to cloners of RHEL (bypassing GNU using monetary thresholds):
Image: I am pleased to announce that the GCC Steering Committee has decided to adopt a Code of Conduct (https://gcc.gnu.org/conduct.html) for interactions in GCC project spaces, including mailing lists, bugzilla, and IRC. The vast majority of the time, the GCC community is a very civil, cooperative space. On the rare occasions that it isn't, it's helpful to have something to point to to remind people of our expectations. It's also good for newcomers to have something to refer to, for both how they are expected to conduct themselves and how they can expect to be treated.
Summary: A Code of Censorship (CoC) has just been added* as IBM's siege against community participation accelerates even further (they kick out Fedora volunteers this way since 2020 if not earlier); where does this end? IBM has been doing this step by step via what's left of its Red Hat workforce (they also led the campaign of defamation against Richard Stallman, rms for short, who started GNU 40 years ago); They want RHEL to be another proprietary UNIX and all community either banished or simply driven away
