Richard Stallman - The Santa of Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Stallman has not only devoted much of his time and energy to this cause, he
| has given his money, too. In 1990, he won a McArthur Foundation fellowship,
| worth somewhere in the neighbourhood of $230,000, divided into quarterly
| installments over five years. "That was a lot more money than I need to live
| on, and more income than I had ever had before. Rather than spending it, I
| decided to invest most of it in mutual funds so that I can live on it for the
| rest of my life while working on free software or another worthy cause."
