This discussion started with your claim of a "slow decay of GNU tower" and you've proved nothing to support that claim.

All you've shown is that there have been some arguments within one GNU project and the main developer of that project has decided to start keeping his copyrights (possibly because he wants to enforce the licence against someone).

From there, you dramatise, make assumptions, and exaggerate a few details to make a claim that GnuTLS is no longer part of GNU, and from there you jump to the claim that GNU is decaying.

Do you really expect a 30 year project, with a hundred sub-projects and thousands of developers, to produce as much software as GNU has, without any internal arguments? This is par for the course in such a massive undertaking and the continued existence and growth of GNU is a tribute to the rarely-praised management skills of RMS!
