How do you determine this?

All the copyright statements I saw in 20.4 after a quick check were
merely by the FSF, including such docs as etc/DISTRIB.

That's quite fascinating if true.  I wonder what the story is behind
this; RMS has never been willing to do this before, and for him to bend
like this simply to integrate what is, quite frankly, not a very good
implementation of i18n (IMO, of course) is interesting to say the least.
