Instead of taking away, which you can't do with GPL you can always push things that cause problems. You could make Ubuntu terrible enough that people stop using it.



Or just stop developing it. A massive effort would be needed to mount another organization to continue development back again.


And? There are plenty of other great distros out there. People can switch pretty painlessly. And I say that as a Ubuntu user.


I was just giving an example how you could destroy something if you were so inclined.
