Indeed. The last thing we want is for ESR to say "I've seen the light
about the BSD license, but you know, those NetBSD guys are real
dorks." (I'm a certified dork, and trust me, you don't want to be
one. :-)

I suspect that if he is misquoted, he'll be sure to say so. This has
caused a fair amount of "stir" in the BSD world, and I'm sure someone
has brought it to his attention. He is not one to remain quiet of
misquoted.
