This is so moronic is not even funny.
It was a reaction against proprietary closed source software that restricted your rights as a user. To avoid this unilateral license control GPL and it's derivatives were created, but so many open source maintainers refused to use it instead using licenses that were essentially unilateral in the other direction.
And so frankly they're the architects of this, not "big evil corp".
