I think the last line sums it up: "SCP is the first Byzantine agreement protocol to give each participant maximum freedom in choosing which combinations of other participants to trust."
As opposed to Ripple, where the trust is heavily biased towards the starter membership list, making it more centralized than one would want.

- zeroxfe 9y agoThe explanation is in the PDF. OP was just pointing out the high-level description of how it's different. Obviously, the devil's in the details.
