If you want everyone to have access to your code, "everyone" includes people you don't like.

If the license says they can copy and redistribute it then that's exactly what they can do - and that's your choice as a software author.

You're perfectly free to make a license that says your code can only be used by people or companies with less than $1,000,000 turnover if you want, but bigness and richness don't always correlate well with any one person's idea of "morally good".
