Free for all by Peter Wayner

How Linux and the free software movement undercut the high-tech titans.
A riveting look at the rise and popular acceptance of Linux and how free software is
changing the nature of business and wealth. Linux and the Free Software Movement
began its siege on the seemingly unshakeable Microsoft in 1999. But the story began
as far back as 1984 when Richard Stallman, a prolific code writer, founded
the Free Software Movement in an effort to break the bureaucratic stranglehold he saw
forming in the computer industry.

Enter Linus Torvalds in the early'90s, a coding genius and a long-time Stallman
disciple, who became the master of Linux code. The result: a marketplace where the
best software solutions win and monolithic computer Goliaths are faced with the
proverbial David. Free for All tells the fascinating story of how a simple idea provided
a framework that organised thousands of open code users and revolutionised the
nature of business. It also tells how a group of passionate people have dedicated
their lives to creating software that's easier--and cheaper--than Microsoft's to use.
