Of course not, no one said so. But Stallman thinks people should not be allowed to release their code (that they wrote entirely themselves) under a closed license.
I always get annoyed by Stallman's insistence that proprietary software is just flat out wrong. Don't get me wrong, I love free/open software, but there are some types of programs that I just can't see ever being written under any open/free source license. High-end games being the first thing I could think of. Not only that, but he seems to harp about "freedom", but wants to remove the freedom to release your software under any license you want.
