My friend is trying to convince the CEO of their tech company to become open source, he didn’t oppose just asked for stuff to read. Any recommendations for this purpose?

edit: thanks y’all for the great suggestions!

    Opensource is not much about ethics, it’s mostly about being practical/pragmatist. For ethics (aka, ideology) you may want to consider reading more about GNU philosophy which, as a non-dev myself, is the main reason why I switched from Mac to GNU/Linux a few years ago. Also, Richard Stallman, the founder of GNU, has published a few books whose PDF are available for free (printed version are not free).
