If he wanted to be so defensive of his work, he shouldn't have sold it (or left it to his descendants to sell). You can't have it both ways, if I sell my start

You can't have it both ways, if I sell my startup to Google I can't then berate them for deviating from my vision and making it too corporate.

Maybe they could gag you with a contract during the sale, but I am certain that fans of your original business are well within their rights to criticize what Google later does with it. Your decision to sell something doesn't oblige others to respect what the new owner does with it.
