JKD was something one of his students thought up after he had died in an attempt to cash in from his name. Most of his famous sayings are taken from the Shaolin monks and not his own at all.

Unfortunately Bruce Lee had an allergy to a medication called Equagesic - which he took for frequent headaches.
Without going into every detail, let me rebut for those who wish to know the truth: Bruce died from cerebral edema caused by hypersensitivity to an ingredient in a prescription medication called Equagesic. This determination was made after an exhaustive, nine-day coroner's inquest during which the testimony of forensic pathologists from all over the world, who had studied every tissue in Bruce's body, was heard.

No conspiracy - just a tragic accident of body chemistry.

When I trained in martial arts, my sensei commented that they were under the impression that he received a delayed death strike for teaching parts of the wing chun which was forbidden to be taught to "white devils".
He was killed to protect certain aspects of martial arts never before filmed, or after. The roll of film he destroyed after an epic fight on set was to protect his family and himself since if it were revealed it would give many martial artists around the world insight into some very secret arts and he was sworn to secrecy.
My dojo practiced a fusion of kung-fu and Okinawan karate. They were avid proponents of Bruce lee and were very well informed on his life. They advocated everything he taught to the fullest extent. They were under the impression that he was killed for violating his oath many times by teaching westerners the Wing chun, amongst other things.

Brandon Lee died of a fatal gunshot wound on March 31, 1993 after an accidental shooting on set of The Crow where a blank bullet was used during a scene, which fired a fragment of a real bullet that was lodged in the barrel. Lee was rushed to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC where 6 hours of operation were attempted. However, attempts to save him were unsuccessful, and Lee was pronounced dead at 1:04 pm on March 31, 1993 at 28 years old. The shooting was ruled an accident.

PhoenixOD, I present to you a much easier target for your criticisms. :-)
first foreigner to operate an aikido dojo in Japan.[9] He was trained by Harry Ishisaka and received 1st dan degree (Shodan) under the direction of Koichi Tohei. He continued to train in aikido as a student of Seiseki Abe, Koichi Tohei (whose aikido organization, Ki Society, Seagal refused to join in favor of staying with the Aikikai), Kisaburo Osawa, Hiroshi Isoyama and the second doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba.
He attained a 7th dan degree and Shihan in aikido.

You are absolutely correct. His philosophy of "no system" was perverted. If Bruce was alive today he would advocate mixed martial arts. He didn't like the over artistic traditional styles though he appreciated what they taught and offered. He alluded that they were not to be practiced literally, like mantis VS tiger...ect. They were to teach people the bodies movements in power that could be fortified. He used all forms of "war".
IMO he was a modern day ancient warrior. He understood the styles were an instrument like a recorder so as to learn, but he rocked out with an electric guitar plugged into wall size amp....
I don't think he would like a business to be made out of his name. He liked nice things but he taught with passion because he loved knowledge and inevitably became intoxicated with passing it on to others. A true warrior poet.
A teacher of men.

He never sought accreditation. He was really against it. It would have been worthless to him to have a plaque, belt or title. He wanted to teach...`period.
If he had been accredited he would have been given a high rank.
