Go back and read the paper.  He hasn't taken credit for the movement.  
He has offered to help insiders understand how it works, however.  And
the papers he has published are an attempt to define what makes the whole
thing tick so that an average person (suit?) can understand it. 

There's plenty of things he could take credit for (the hacker dictionary
is one of them - of which I have a well-thumbed copy right here), and infact
has, but the OSS / Free software movement isn't one of them.
