For many, it feels like a crime to use it.

If you watch the entire video, Torvalds' GPL 3 complaint has to do with
tivoization.

Torvalds' attitude is if you modify the code, send me the changes so I can
see if there is anything worthwhile. Otherwise use it as you please. He
does mention he supports the EFF.

Stallman wasn't mentioned. Just as well since the moderator had previously
cautioned people who were offended by vulgar language to leave the
session. There was an earlier back and forth about Torvalds questioning
how some people made it to adulthood since they were too stupid to find a
teat to suck on.
