Woz isn't a CEO and was stabbed in the back so many times he makes the Ten of Swords look like a sign for future friendships

in terms of being betreayed? sure.

In terms of being the salvation and the light? Nah, that's Linus

Linus is the drunken uncle of the tech backbone, let's be real here. Woz is the supportive one after being in abusive relationship after abusive relationship.

After every instance of getting relatively screwed over (he still made bank, just not as much) he still founded and ran groups that focussed on pushing the envelope of tech or improving less advantaged youth into stem fields

Woz is Bill Dautrive, Linus is Rusty Shackleford :P

Woz is the true Tech Jesus

No that would be Stallman. In so many ways, but most importantly by establishing the concept of free software and pushing hard for progressive values. Also by being unpopular with the masses.

You mean GNU/Stallman

He's been on multiple board of directors and founded several orgs. While not a CEO, he's certainly in the same sphere and must be protected.
