And RMS didn't want to write a grep tool/compiler/editor/whatever - he wanted to write hurd. however, he recognised that hurd needed to be *built on* a solid foundation of tools and resources; most people have never heard of hurd, but use directly or indirectly something in the gnu toolbox every day (mostly without knowing it) if you build a decent TLS library, then build a VPN daemon to use that library, you have contributed both a daemon and a TLS library, and thousands of people may well use the TLS library without needing or wanting a VPN daemon (given a TLS library is of much more general use than a vpn daemon)
