Well-deserved, I’m sure.

Awarded to an institution or individual(s) recognized for developing a software system that has had a lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts, in commercial acceptance, or both.

A little curious of why Torvalds hasn’t been a recipient of this award. He has two quite notable pieces of software that has lasting influence and enormous commercial acceptance.
