Stallman was the founder - and is STILL the President and Board Chair - of the Free Software Foundation. The FSF is enormously influential. Among other activities, it publishes the software licenses used by much of the 'copyleft' world - the GPL, LGPL, and AGPL licenses.

(Not even sure what if anything he's the lead developer of anymore. Emacs? He famously lost control over his compiler package when his development model was proved to be inefficient.)
