Can you provide a quote where he says or implies such a thing?

If so it would be cherry-picked, as I'm pretty sure that's not his position.

In fact, he has advocated for the use of a non-copyleft free license over the GPL, in the case of libogg.

I wasn't necessarily referring to the author here, it is more of a straw-man really. Could have worded that better.

I interpreted the comment above as speaking of Stallman's positions, not the author's. I still suspect that's the case, although I now see that there's ambiguity I missed on first read.

I did refer to rms with "he", as I found it hard to believe rms would refer to non-GPL Free Software licenses as "evil", but the OP already admitted it was a straw-man either way.
