Some important bullet points:

* Free means Free to use - not commercially without cost
* The Linux cost model removes up-front costs, but increases development costs
* Development costs are generally higher
* You get a lot of functionality, but it doesn't come for free
* Linux has become a trusted alternative to a commercial RTOS in the embedded space

You can download the PowerPoint slides alongside the video.
