That quote is just total nonsense. There has absolutely never been a "great man theory" of open source. The concept of "forking" is a fundamental aspect of the entire philosophy.

The individuals who do stand out stand out precisely because of their humility and how little (nothing) they ask in return for their contributions.

The truly fundamental aspect of the entire philosophy, in practice, was telling people "Just fork it, then."
