When somebody contributes 85% of entire Linux kernel (like Red Hat) it seems very natural to call the shoots. The second largest contributor to Linux kernel is SUSE with more than 10%. Due to Debian's negligible contribution just like Canonical to Linux kernel it seems natural that they follow the leader. At least Canonical is footing the bill for Gnome. Debian is truly a hobby project and probably the largest contribution is that OpenSSL bug which they introduced couple of years ago to avoid compilation warrnings.

You do not philosophically understand BSD licensing model which came out of academi and internal organization of BSDs at least until 1993.
