Why did GNU choose UNIX?

Or rather, why did rms et al dislike UNIX? It seems to come up a lot that they basically settled for a UNIX clone since it was widespread. They certainly didn't care for the philosophy.

IIRC, it supported stuff like write barrier and dynamic dispatch, so arithmetic was as fast as in C/C++ without any declaration.
