Doesn’t mean it’s immune. Just means that a lot of people worked to protect it every time.

Doesn’t mean it’s immune. That is what it means. Any project with a GPL or similar license is effectively immune from takeover. As long as there is someone with the skills and interest with access to the source (and there are legions), they can use it. If someone wants to keep it the way it was or change it in some big way, they can fork it. Every time there has been a corp buyout or ideological divide, the people exercise their rights and projects fork, preserving the independence and community values.
