Actually Linux has too many copyright holders for this to be
practical, whereas the FSF's policy of copyright assignment does make
it vulnerable to this sort of hostile takeover: there's only one
entity to be bribed, bought out or otherwise acquired.
The copyright assignment by the FSF has some nice wording which would
allow each asignee to sue the FSF (if they try to make it non-free
software for example), the worst that could happen is that they
release the program under a free software license...
