I just read this article about Gabriella Coleman's book, "Coding Freedom".
http://opensource.com/life/13/1/want-understand-open-source-live-its-developers
The book is an exploration of the culture of FOSS; I'll spare you a
bunch of words, as the author of the article linked above explains it
much better than I can.
In true open source spirit, the author has released the entire book
under a Creative Commons license, and made it available to download for
free, here:

(You can also buy it in "dead trees" format from Princeton University
Press.)
