Free As In Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade For Free Software is a fascinating read. I picked up at the local library, and it's really helping me understand the person of Richard Stallman. I still think he's a loon in the personality department, but the book has really helped me understand the history for Free Software, and just how much RMS has helped to bring it in to existance, and make it what it is today.

You can read it at http://oreilly.com/openbook/freedom/ and you can buy it, or read it online for free.

You're welcome...Although it is available online, I greatly prefer a pdf version for reading.
