Yep, just look at the current brouhaha David Dawes has stirred up with the v4.4 XFree86 License. Dawes does a helluvalot, but does that always make it right? Evidently not. Same thing applies here to. Power does need to be limited, but on a scope similar to the Three Branches of the US Government. Presidential (DPL), the Judcial (QA and such) and the Congressional (DDs) which represent the users (somewhat that is). I don't think this will ever get resolved, mainly because anyone with the power, will have these issues. As the saying goes(I think at least): Power corrupts. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely.
