Hmmm.... Truth Happens from Red Hat. It has got some mirrors on YouTube. Some
of their other promotional videos no longer seem to be available from Red
Hat's Web site.
Anyhoo, that incorporates Ghandi's (reused) words. And speaking of which,
Ghandi is among Stallman's idols/role models.
Best wishes,

PS - 3 articles I can think of already say that "Linux has won". It's not
like Linux developers need to steal a flag and capture some territory. The
win is gradual and it's momentum that counts. When IP FUD fails, all hope is
lost and disasters like the Zune and XBox 360 emerge to drain budgets
uncontrollably. Based on that, Linux can no longer be defeated. It only
spreads ("like cancer", as Ballmer calls the GPL).
