Watch the Veritasium video
Pretty decent explanation of Richard Stallman and how the free software movement and the GNU project started
8 Minutes in
They switch calling it "Linux" and "Open Source" never mention free software or the GNU project again
Stop watching

I mean at least this video has like 5 million views and considering most people at least watch the first section of the video that means that at least 5 million people have now heard a very short version of the free software story thanks to this channel, so that's positive I guess.

@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.
