Make: Ok. I don't personally need many changes in Make. In fact I think it is the kind of tool that should not change too much. GCC: The last release was like 6 days ago: https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/ https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/ I would not call that "not being maintained". Similar thing for GNU tls. I don't consider that these tools are not important, I'm just saying that the importance is small when compared to what the FSF does. Plenty of other organizations/businesses support and develop free software, few support the legal/licence/philosophy side.
