There's few good articles on the http://www.gnu.org site. I would also suggest these books:
1) The Success of Open Source by Steven Weber 2) Free for All: How LINUX and the Free Software Movement Undercut the High-Tech Titans by Peter Wayner 3) Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity -- by Lawrence Lessig (not techinicall related with Free software, but same philiosophy).
