Stallman's "copyleft" is all about making copyright meaningless. ("Intellecual
property is evil!" shouted Stallman during one conversation I had with him
several years ago.) And he does appear to advocate the violation of copyrights
-- other than those held by the FSF, of course. One of the better known
instances is a document in which he says that "piracy" should be called
"sharing information with your neighbor."
