Rob is not talking about Linux video tools, he's talking about FOSS video tools.
Just because it runs on Linux, does not make it FOSS. Plenty of proprietary apps run on Linux, and even more FOSS apps run on Windows. The underlying OS is irrelevent.
Why is this distinction so hard to understand?
And by the way, you can bet money that the tools Pixar uses are very very expensive or built in house, and are probably not Free/Open source software.
