Tim Berners-Lee isn't dead. And if you read the article, you'll see that he was actually the one who originally overrode the EFF's objections to publishing a DRM standard in the first place.
So Tim Berners-Lee "must be rolling in his grave," quite aside from the fact that he is still physically alive and doing fine.
Even if he put words to them early on, it's easy for someone to claim lofty ideals when creating something and later realize that's not true to what they believe in.
This whole fanboy-heroism is probably a big part of why people don't act for themselves and are left to cry when their 'glorious leaders' "betray" their interests.
