I believe the GNU GPL was made to address this.
Does anyone have proof that Etherium is secure? There's also the issue of giving whomever runs Etherium complete authority over those 'smart contracts', and that could easily turn into 'pay me to make the contract even smarter'.
People are going to adapt. And I see no reason why would anybody share particularly private stuff with everyone.
And then there's the part where things look so awesome they can easily become bad: I can imagine someone being blackmailed into one of those contracts. And plenty of other, 'welcome to the void' kind of stuff.* Where's Voldie when you need him?
Define "secure". And, naturally, Etherium contracts live on the blockchain, so there is no one who "runs" Etherium in the same sense that there is no one who runs Bitcoin. But, of course, persuade a sufficiently large part of the community and you can have anything you want -- see the DAO mess and the consequent hard fork.
