Perhaps they could've given it to Aaron Swartz to support the legal issues they threw him in as a result of his responsible, ethical disobedience aimed at challenging our norms, rules, or laws to benefit society.

I'm half-tempted to nominate him as an act of disobedience.

excellent idea.

i'm surprised this award doesn't bear his name

i'm even more surprised that his name is not mentioned anywhere in the MIT publication article

Can't agree more.
The irony is painful.
