All movements tend to move much much beyond the people who start them. All movements involve multiple kinds of people and their combination takes evolutionary approach. By the way, India's war of independence from colonial rule neither starts with Gandhi nor ends there. The greatest leader is the spirit of citizenship of a fraternity and its awoken mode is all that works for achieving freedom and protecting it. Software Freedom was institutionalized by RMS but it was already a culture ( as sendmail developer Eric Allman tells in 'The Code' ) before the greed dominated the joy of computing. MS
