It might have been clearer if I had said the "open source compiler community".

RMS doesn't care about "greater communities", AFAICT. He cares about
the free software community (more or less, the GPL-using community),
and about preserving a haven for freedom for all users.

At RMS's behest emacs used GPL3 bzr instead of GPL2 git. Now he has relented. Would he still have relented were git were BSD?
