I guess if Linux is universally adopted then they'll eventually become like Microsoft or Apple with respect to ownership and capitalization. Right now though, they are the Magnificent Seven.
that can't happen in the current linux landscape
linux is not owned by any corp and there are so many maintainer groups to choose from there would be not foothold for corporations to take over
No. I agree. Not in it's current linux landscape.
I wouldn't think it'd ever be possible. Sure maybe there is a SLIGHT chance someone evil takes over linux (highly doubt, but this is an example), but linux is deeply rooted in open source, so someone will create a fork that outlives any evilness.
This already happens to a lot of popular open source projects. People don't like who maintains it? They fork and continue building on their own terms.
