The last time I checked (read: Last night), VLC could play youtube links when passed the http://youtube.com/watch url from the command line, and that gnash played them in browser, both with the free-but-patent-encumbered codecs in rpmfusion-free. So, no, you don't need proprietary software to view youtube. I use VLC with youtube links daily. I too have had some bad experiences with blip.tv's upload service trying to get ABLEconf videos online. Blip.tv may be more Freedom oriented, but when it comes down to it, youtube+an ogv direct download accomplishes the same thing with much less effort :( Awesome videos, Máirín.
