Stephen Fry. Happy Birthday GNU! (ESP subs)

Entitled "Happy Birthday to GNU," the video shows Fry sitting in an armchair on the second or third story of an old brick building. Fry starts by saying that he has been a computer enthusiast ever since the introduction of the personal computer. "But recently," he says, "my mind has turned, as many people's have, to this whole business of 'free software.' But there's a lot of concern about what this all means, and I'd like to help clear this up."
Fry continues by making an analogy between software and plumbing, pointing out that, even if you don't know how to fix the pipes yourself, you reserve the right to do so -- but, in the case of software, proprietary companies like Microsoft and Apple would deny you similar rights.
He then compares free software to the academic tradition of sharing knowledge. "If it isn't [shared], it's bad science and a form of tyranny," he says, leaving listeners to complete the analogy with software.
Interspersed with cuts to a Windows license, a picture of a young Richard Stallman, and other stills, Fry goes on to describe the free software community and its history. He wraps up by urging listeners to use completely free distributions such as GNewSense, or to contribute code if they can.
"Either way, I hope you'll join me in wishing GNU a very happy birthday," says Fry, picking up with both hands a lighted birthday cake that has been out of shot until now. Calling GNU/Linux "the operating system of the future," he exclaims, "Freedom!" and blows out the candles in whirls of smoke.
A moment later, licking his fingers, Fry exclaims, "Chocolaty good -- the tastiest operating system in the world."
