Did he say so?

It was the implication of everything that he proposed during the talk.
He made it clear that he wants everyone to release under the GPL.  He
made it clear that he thought that people that "sold" software were
immoral.  He made it clear that he was very angry at those that sell
software.  In my opinion following what Stallman proposes would require
us to give up our rights.

With regards to the viral nature of the GPL, I don't care if it is
viral.  I do care if Stallman claims with a straight face that it isn't
viral, and I do care if Stallman gets angry with people that disagree
with him about the viral nature of the GPL.  In my opinion Stallman
isn't being honest.

What, in your view, is a derived work? And what is it worth?

I am currently happy with the legal definition.  The worth is
multi-faceted.
