I am sure you are being over sensitive here.  There is enough margin for
interpretation here that their statement is perfectly justified -- even if
only in the "de facto" sense.  You can take a very narrow look at it in
one way and it makes sense what you say; but you can also take a very
narrow look at it in another way, and your comment appears merely
divisive.  I say let EFF take every bit of credit it can, and let every
one else take the credit they deserve too.  It's not a scarce resource --
there is plenty to go around.  It has been an inspiring effort all around,
so far.
