Distros will modify your software, if you want some kind of control over that, trademark is the tool (or a more restrictive license), otherwise you're sending mixed signals when using libre licenses which explicitly grants modifications rights, specially with the typical ones putting no limitations whatsoever (one which notably does being the Artistic License).
Meanwhile arguing about morals is a complete disaster when there's different stakes and values at play, because in the end it will depend on each upstream, and there's tens of thousands of those for your average distro (with average packager maintaining more packages than dunbar number btw).
