I don't think he wrote the entirety of the Jargon file, did he? Thought he only did the bits at the beginning and end of what became the New Hacker's Dictionary (portrait of j random hacker, etc.) but the original JF was something older he ended up maintaining.
Edit: never mind, just checked jargon-1 and the ethos entry either came from ESR or Guy Steele (both contributed to the rewrite afaik).
