Given your argument, RMS should have no problem with me copying GNU
software and not respecting the GPL? GNU software is copyright, and can
only be distributed with restrictions imposed by the copyright owner. To
ignore those restrictions (the GPL in this case) would not go down well
with RMS at all.

While RMS may not agree with most software licenses, I don't think he'd 
encourage people to violate the licenses any more than his own GPL.
