Not correct. Putting code under the GPL does not make it the property of the FSF. Other than that, I agree with Peter, as much as I prefer the GPL over the BSD copyright.

There is no objective truth that says that the GPL is better than any other copyright, it all depends on what you want to allow others to do. -- Lars.Wirzenius@helsinki.fi (finger wirzeniu@klaava.helsinki.fi) MS-DOS, you can't live with it, you can live without it.
