8 Minutes in
They switch calling it "Linux" and "Open Source" never mention free software or the GNU project again

@SuperDicq Exactly what I did. I did not share it here because of it. I wonder was starting chat with Stallman was picked from somewhere or independently done by them. I had low hopes because of seeing "linux" in description and tux thumbnail. Comments were hopeless too.

4@Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com They didn't actually talk to Stallman. They used his voice from various talks and interviews, which they are technically not allowed to use in this way I think because Stallman licenses them under NoDerivatives.

Does not matter, it is fair use. News papers also don't license their articles to anyone, but you are still allowed to quote them.

@phnt@fluffytail.org @Pi_rat@freesoftwareextremist.com Using actual audio fragments is different from quoting something.
@SuperDicq @Pi_rat The law does not make a difference in that. In that context it is used to explain someone's point using their own words for added context, it is transformative enough as it is a fraction of the original video and it is not a replacement for the original. Those are the main points used for declaring something fair use or not. Especially in the case of journalism, which the video is, although not in the traditional sense.
