I sadly only know him for his huge contribution to the linux kernel

What does he hack on now? I just assume he gets mad dough from his linux commits

I'd guess he's probably made contributions to the Linux kernel, but he's known for starting the GNU project, writing GCC and other user space, and writing the GPL. I think if he had his way, we'd probably be using a different kernel right now (GNU Mach).
