You might want to add Larry Ellison to that list, a true contender for the Most FUBAR CEO award, with special achievements in the area of Annoying the Open Source Community with his Open Office shenanigans, and in the Wasteful Litigation category with his multimillion dollar attack on Android.
His monkeying with Open Office ultimately prompted all the major distros to fund the now-much-better fork, Libre Office.
And with Android, rather than the billions he was hoping for it looks like he'll be paying Google's court costs.
Annoying that many people and wasting so much money isn't an easy thing to do, possibly warranting a special Lifetime Achievement Award.
What else would we expect from a company that makes its living not from innovation, but from a single product it made many years ago which they've successfully lobbied, and traded personnel with, the major auditing firms to support his DB exclusively, so big corps have no alternative but to risk failing audits.
On second thought, while that may not be the sort of innovation we normally expect from a tech company, it is a most inventive strategy. ;)
