He made a small mistake: what he meant was...

"Will be rejected when approval is asked" will be rejected when approval
is asked.

"Is OK as long as you don't want our stamp of approval" is OK as long as
you don't want our stamp of approval.

It's a quine, it's a valid English sentence, and it expresses the
opinions of a lot of the people who have commented[1].
