I, too, have never heard that statement out of rms's mouth or virtual
fingers.  I, on the other hand, can't imagine him saying anything that
even vaguely resembles that sentiment.  He's firmly engaged in a project
to duplicate (and enhance) the interface of Unix(tm).  He is interested
in doing this without getting sued.

So, what makes *you* think that he would say something like that?
