I am looking for works about free software or based on this philosophy, there are books like “Free software for a free society” and documentaries like “Linux code”, but I would like to know what other works there are related to free software and this philosophy, there are things like snow crash, which talks about the decentralization of the internet from a fictional and futuristic story, these types of works are also valid.

    One of the best quotes about Free Software, was how it is essentially using the same principles as Judo, use the opponents momentum against them.

    The way Free Software uses full, restrictive copyright to create a permissive, free sharing-based copyright is an excellent example of the technique within many Judo throws.

    I can’t remember where this quote was from, and a quick search found nothing. Maybe someone else can pinpoint it.
