Luke Smith made video about this several years ago: Virgin "Open Source" vs Chad Free Software

He ends the video with "I don't care if the boot-stamping on my head is proprietary or open source. I don't want a boot stamping on my head. That's what Free Software is about, okay!?"

This has been going on for a while, but it's good to shine a light on it once more.
