How do we kill it?
With free software you also give potentially bad people access to your work.That's with anything, though. Bad people can potentially use proprietary software as well; so, not really an argument there.
On the proprietary side you have Microsoft, Apple, and Google. On the free side you have Stallman and his zealots. There's not much in between.People on the BSD side of things tend to meet somewhere in the middle. (de Raadt is kinda zealous in his own way, though, but at least he keeps it mostly to his area.)

We're talking about source code here.So? It's still a trivial matter. Evil people exist, it's a sad reality, but it's reality; the world is not always a goody two-shoes place (I do admire people who try to strive for such in this criminal degenerate world, though).
The point is that the GNU project has too much control over open source software. It's like the Microsoft of the open source world.I agree, but that has to do with these things happening inherently in market based systems (network effects, economies of scale, barriers to entry, ect.), plus, while Stallman didn't exactly invent the idea of "free software" (as the sharing of software and code was commonplace at MIT in the 1970s), he coined the term and conceptualized it hence why GNU holds a monopoly and GPL is the most common license used. In markets, often the early bird gets the worm. I do however support people using more non-GNU based free software and non-copyleft permissive licenses, especially since the GNU/Linux world seems to be trending towards more insanity with things like systemd and such.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
New revision of GPL may as well transfer all copyright directly to Stallman. That follows from the text of GPL, when author agrees to also publish his work under future versions of GPL.You are completely wrong. There is no lawyer in the world who will seriously argue this.
