I think there is a master thread in the Miles Buzz forum, but I couldn´t find it right now.

Air Canada: fuel surcharges only charged for flights operated by AC, but not on those operated by *A partners
Miles&More (Lufthansa/Swiss/Austrian/LOT/Brussels Airlines): yes
bmi: yes

I presume you mean *A FFPs which charge or don't charge fuel fines on awards?

NZ & SQ yes
Adria, Austrian, Brussels, Croatia, LOT, Lufthansa and Swiss are all Miles and More and so yes for all these.

He's making a valid distinction between airlines and frequent flyer programs. Since a whole bunch of airlines use M&M, this makes sense - one entry instead of seven.

blue1 and SAS share the same FFP, maybe they should be grouped together.
