I'm not convinced that
Donald Knuth is a good example of a
open source proponent. While he released the source to
TeX, which is certainly admirable, he did so under a license that barely makes the
[Open Source Definition]: changes are only allowed through the cumbersome use of "change files". I'm not deleting him outright, because there may be something I missed.
The people section seems generally a bit unclear: is the intention to list vocal proponents of the movement (Perens, Raymond) or maintainers of influental open source software (Torvalds, Vixie). As mentioned above, I don't think Knuth is a prime example of the latter, either.
