That's exactly what he said: you are free to create a fork (= take the FPC source code and do whatever you want with it), and then the currently active FPC developers are also free to take whichever of your patches they consider useful. What's not possible is that other people dictate what you must do with the FPC source code, just like you can't dictate what other people must do.

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Creating_A_Patch (it was written for Lazarus, but it works pretty much the same with FPC)
