There are two questions on the home page looking for research studies. Are these like any other 'external resource' questions on the network -- off topic?
@FaheemMitha I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but Stallman has collected some of his essays into a book, Free Software, Free Society: gnu.org/philosophy/fsfs/rms-essays.pdf
Hackers is great if you're interested in the origins of MIT hacker culture that served as Stallman's formative cultural context for computing. It's about the "free software" culture of sharing that existed long before "free software" was a defined concept. The formation of GNU is included at the very end. It has some really great stories.
Full disclosure: neither of those are "recent" but they seem like pretty important works if you're interested in free software
Hi @apsillers. Thank you for the suggestions. I've read Hackers, but it has been a while. recall that the last chapter was about Richard Stallman, which considering the book was published in the 80s, was remarkably prescient. I also think I've read most of Stallman's essays.
I'm looking for something similar to Rebel Code, but maybe something a bit more up to date, and perhaps from a different angle.
