C'mon, Aral Balkan is well known expert and activist, he's not just "some guy". He's been in and around web-standards development for decades, involved in W3C standards' groups, and very vocal pushing for better accessibility, privacy, worker and human rights in IT, etc. You can accuse him of being a lot of things (overzealous for one), but I don't think he's ever been "just for some more cash" type of person.
