Not everyone seems to understand Tivoization, but regardless, Linus Torvalds likes it. In the following video, Richard Stallman talks about Tivoization and explains his pet peeves, which you may or may not sympathise with. The part of about TiVo starts about a minute after the start.

Adam, there is actually a project close to gnash that can play YouTube videos. It is Free software. YouTube still uses Flash 7, so proprietary codec (with required royalties) are not a problem (but I agree with your point, which was raised before).
Having been involved in the WordPress development community since almost the beginning, I know why it chose the GPL and how it restricts abuse by Automattic
This site has over 1,000 'wiki' pages, many thousands of documents, several thousands of videos, and about 50,000 blog posts or articles. We need to make them easier to find/navigate.
Even if one can see/find a link to "the study" (in the Bezos-controlled publication), most people won't look any further and just take everything at face value.
The FSF led by Geoffrey S. Knauth with his friend Richard Stallman in the FSF's Board [...] Let's encourage people to adopt GNU/Linux. There has never been a better time.
