FSO is compilable with a standard C compiler as well.

If you want to compare, then compare oFono to fsogsmd alone. As for the comparison between those two, well, fsogsmd was first, has (IMO, of course) a better architecture, a better API, and supports other modems. And there's no agenda of a company behind – some people may view that as an advantage, rather than a disadvantage. I don't see why we should invest time in something we consider not being superior.
