I don't think it's "fair" to say that someone who initiated the free software movement, wrote the first versions of GCC, GNU Emacs, the core utils, … is not a hacker anymore because he is dedicating his life to something else than coding and coding and coding.

I really don't see the need to formalize what a hacker is and who correspond to those criteria, especially the way you present it where it would be tied to one country, which is not really compatible with the hacker culture as I see it.
