"No, the original authors can't legally destroy modern Linux by revoking the license."

Yes they can. They did not transfer the copyright, they have the right to control derivative works, no one paid them for a license. It's a gratuity that confers no protections from recision at will.

They can also claw back using the claw back provision in the copyright act, since linux is old enough now.
