Remove GNU and FSF attribution from HTML page titles.
I don't see why we should have to "comply with the GNU style" if we're
truly an independent project run by the GCC developers and aided by
the steering committee.
OK for wwwdocs?

I think it critical than any code have *some* style guidelines. If you
don't like the GNU coding convention, which do you propose instead and
how do you propose to convert the existing code to that style?

I'm not suggesting any changes to coding conventions. As you say, some
style is needed, and the current one is fine and it would be pointless
churn to change it.
The patch is for the website stylesheet, and simply removes the rule
that rewrites the HTML <title> element to "comply with the GNU style".
If that rule is removed then the page titles will be simply the
original content of the <title> element as it appears in the HTML
source, without rewriting e.g.
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc-wwwdocs.git;a=blob;f=htdocs/index.html;h=5598df7851048f510b4a70744a1d4c9861157c19;hb=HEAD#l7

The relevant style guideline is the last bullet at:
https://www.gnu.org/server/standards/gnu-website-guidelines.en.html#html-required
But it's only a "should", and I note that these other GNU projects do
not do it:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/
Of the ones I checked, only GCC and Binutils do it.
Since GCC isn't on GNU or FSF hardware and isn't supported financially
by the FSF, and operates independently since the EGCS merger, I don't
see why GCC needs to rewrite the page titles.

Ping.
Is this OK now?

An alternative change would be to just drop the mention of the FSF,
since they don't fund GCC or provide hosting etc., as in the attached
patch.
And as I pointed out previously, none of these sites refer to the FSF
in their page <title>s:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
https://guix.gnu.org/
(Some don't refer to the GNU project either.)
