   I haven't followed his career but I think his biggest claim to fame is   
   emacs, which I do not use. He lost interest in gcc early on. With nothing   
   happening the Experimental GNU Compiller System forked the code and moved   
   ahead. I believe it was gcc 2.95 when egcs was merged back in and the ecgs   
   people took over further development.   
      
   Then there is Hurd... As far as FOSS,

   FSF and OSI are not the same.
