Richard Stallman

The great doctor Richard Matthew Stallman (RMS, born 1953 in New York) is one of the biggest figures in software history, the founder of the GNU project, free software foundation, inventor of free software and the author of a famous text editor emacs.

He has a beautifully minimalist website http://www.stallman.org where he actively comments on current news and issues, even though regarding software he isn't too concerned about bloat (judging by the GNU software and his own creation, the emacs editor).

He is a weird person, having been recorded eating dirt from his feet before giving a lecture. In the book Free as in Freedom he admits he might be autistic.
