Of course, both Vista and Linux are distributed under licenses, but there is
a major difference between their terms. Vista EULAs very minutely specify
what you can do with it, while the GNU/Linux licenses, predominantly GPL,
only disallow redistribution of the 'work' or its 'derivatives' under a
different license, thereby ensuring that what has once been 'freed' stays
'Free'. It is a matter of copyright, and not ownership.
Consider it this way: you require a license to drive your car. If you break
traffic rules wantonly, your license can be revoked, and you would no longer
be allowed to drive your car. Software licenses also intend to do the same
thing.
