Ah, so the same as a software developer at a mid-size government agency?

Mid-career developer in the US government, yes.

While not doing any software development, sounds great to me.

Yeah, he is "Treasurer, et. al." on the 990 and "Policy Fellow and Hacker-in-Residence" on the SFC site's Board list.

After he left the FSF he joined the Software Freedom Law Center (Eben Moglen's operation), but only lasted a year. He then started the Software Freedom Conservancy, which resulted in a lawsuit from the SFLC, due the similarity in name and focus.

Meanwhile, John Sullivan, ED of the FSF itself, made $112K, including benefits. That is more in line with a small educational foundation.
