I don't consider that the worst case, I consider that the secret weapon off FOSS, and what Linus would prefer to see. I don't think he wants Linux to be a kingdom who is afraid of what happens when their king dies. If the people aren't empowered to take the code, make it their own, and continue owning their devices, then they weren't in it for the freedom, just the freeloading.
