Any Macarthur Grant folks floating around here? Take note! That's an impressive resume.

Wikipedia says you have to be a US citizen or resident for the MacArthur grant. As far as I know he's French.

Great idea. That guy deserves it. Though I suspect he would be too modest to accept the money since he GNUed all his creations.

That does not necessarily imply modesty, there is another MacArthur grant winner who GNUed all his creations...

In the days before KVM, he wrote a paravirtualization kernel module for QEMU (kqemu), gave away binaries and tried to sell the source. I don't know what happened with that business.

Yes he wrote that.
Indeed he also wrote QEMU.

According to the Wikipedia page, you need to be a US citizen or resident to be eligible. He seems to be residing in France and I doubt he has a US citizenship. Otherwise, he definitely fits the bill.
