As it is litterally just a few words fom the chorus I fail to see the issue. Clearly fall into fair use exceptions. Such as satire or transformative works.
Cute tho.

Documenting this so other Devs do not need to go throught the hassle of installing xscreen saver, waiting for the win 10 screen to cycle around and then scanning the QR code.
The QR code decodes to:
"Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you"
Ok, now that that is out of the way and the 17 english word in question are available here.
Since this use of these 17 words falls clearly into fair use I'm having trouble seeing the issue with the QR-code.
Now the link to youtube. the references to Amiga, Android, Windows, Etc. That are at the heart of this perticular
sequence those could all be seen as referencing non-free stuff.
Since we already [libre] xscreensaver I'd suggest just yanking the BSOD option
