Maybe the allegation of a transcript is a joke, but what is not a joke is that it is quite true that open source software generally has no restrictions on its re-use. It can be freely used by capitalists, communists, terrorists, stay-at-home-parents, and even aliens.
There are sometimes restrictions such as it may not be resold, or distributed in part, must carry attribution, etc but the principle remains if it is under open source license it can be freely copied, re-used, and modified.
