   He's definitely not a doctor, but he did get an honourary doctorate. As   
   for him being great or not, I will submit a question: would the world of   
   technology naturally gravitate toward producing open-source software had   
   it not been for Richard Stallman. There is reason to believe that   
   Shareware would have existed even if GNU hadn't, but I doubt that would   
   have resulted in a free operating system with its free set of   
   applications, and the dogma that software should strive to open up its   
   code.
