Stallman doesn't say that anywhere in the article you reference.

However, he does say one very chilling thing:

"the GNU system became popular in conjunction with Linux, but today it 
also runs with two BSD kernels and the GNU kernel."

In short, Stallman considers the BSDs' "userland" utilities to be part
of the "GNU system."

Alas, the BSDs do incorporate far to much of the FSF's software, and 
fail to provide non-GPLed replacements for it.

In short, Stallman fully believes (alas, with good reason) that the BSDs
are ensnared in the web of his malicious agenda.

It's time for the BSDs to become TRULY free -- of Stallman's agenda and
of the noxious provisions of the GPL -- by eliminating all GPLed code.
