I think he still would have, because what he set out to create is a 100% copylefted system. It's in the manifesto:
> Everyone will be permitted to modify and redistribute GNU, but no distributor will be allowed to restrict its further redistribution. That is to say, proprietary modifications will not be allowed. I want to make sure that all versions of GNU remain free.
