lol, you people are idiots. In a time where you can and will be fired
and ruined for ticking the wrong box, rescinding your code from a
project such as the linux kernel will just blackball you from the
entire industry forever. For good reason too. I wouldn't play with
someone who takes the ball home when he gets mad either.
Why to think like a wageslave.
The old-school linux contributors did not do it for money, and their
copyrights (obviously) are still good.
Why would you give a shit if you were blacklisted from "the industry",
you have a cause of action in your hands. Legal action can reap you
dividends that you would never otherwise achieve through your entire
life.
A cause of action is worth 100 or 1000 of your earning years, often.

If bloc-recissions and litigation happen, you may not have an industry
to blackball them from.
And you can't "just reimplement" the removed code and functionality
either: as that may be infringing on the previous work as-well :). More
litigation follows to determine that.
