Like Stallman, Torvalds isn't being fully compensated for all the existing copies of his work either, there's no royalties given to him, and his copyrights are practically useless in ensuring his long term wealth since he gives them away with Stallman's "copyleft" license. His obvious lack of concern for protecting his work has resulted in the big companies playing him for a token fool, he had to admit he didn't know anything about the deal the night it was announced, while his current employer OSDL was on stage celebrating with Microsoft and Novell. He's even been played worse than the lady at Jokelaw, although I think she's starting to catch on.
