I don't see why you drag the GPL into this.  I'm certainly no fan of
it; whether or not I agree with Stallman on this point, I disagree with
him on many others.

I would not presume to tell any of you why you are or aren't BSD fans.
I'm not even sure why I am - it probably depends on the answer to "as
opposed to what?".  Again, what does this have to do with what I said?

Oh, certainly he's entitled to it, at least under most current legal
systems.  I just find it, as I said, a pity that he exercises that
right to the point of allowing his desire to see his name advertised
get in the way of letting his software help people it otherwise could.
