Very good. However a couple of questions come to mind:

- Do we have permission from the author? Is the video under a CC license or
   similar?
- Would it be possible to host, if only, a low resolution copy of the video on
  netbsd.org or associated mirror? This would be so as not to depend on an
  external hosting site.
