This is already what happens.

Just like the web (W3C?) was a front for microsoft taking over from Netscape, and now Google taking over from everyone else, the linux foundation et al are just fronts for Google et al to have whatever they want on the kernel and to prevent any and all GPL3 "corruption" of their take-take-take business practices.

GNU/Linux is old news, everyone runs BIGCORP/Linux today. You probably have more code from Google/Amazon/etc than GNU in any modern distro.

Just look at all the effort devoted to systemd (which is a blatant copy of oracle/windows service management) or everyone eating up the hype of zsh on macs (which is nothing but a spin from apple: Look how this new shell is so much better, oh bash is going to be GPLv3, no this has nothing to do with it, look how shiny is zsh!)

GPLv3 will set you free!

My paranoid thoughts about the state of disorganization in organizations like Mozilla and Gnome is that large corporations like Google and Microsoft clandestinely pay agent provocateurs involved in these organizations to derail progress in the projects.

Systemd is really just the most blatant of these kinds of efforts.

zsh is older than you think.

Apple switching to it on the day Bash announce new version to be GPLv3 is very recent.
