Hmmm, I'm increasingly wary of FOSS software as well. It's part of the system and can be bought up. Not sure about the alternatives to it, though. I guess highly technical people with lots of free time can just self-host and compile, but that's a minority.
Depends on the license a project uses. GPL should be fine to prevent corporate exploitation.
