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).
