The good part about this is that the nature of free software makes it easy to
detect abuse.
For example, say RMS is corrupted by Stallman and tries to alter the
definition of free software. RMS isn't the final word. Free software is free
because of the nature of software, not because RMS's definition says so.
Also, say the FSF develops free software that abuses it's users. Say it sends
data to Google. By definition you can audit the source code of all free
software so it wouldn't take long before someone noticed the abuse and
modified the code.
So while the FSF is possibly corruptible, it's also dealing in a product that
is, by its nature, one of the most transparent on the planet.
