Permissive licenses don’t give power to corporations. It may increase corporate adoption (aka more open standards), but it doesn’t cause the corporation to own the codebase or replace the developers working on the project. If this was true, BSD and co would have been annihilated years ago. What we actually see is GPL ecosystems like Redhat and Linux (Android) being swallowed by corporate interest despite the license, because the GPL doesn’t protect your project leadership from becoming corrupt.
