Here's a link to a list of several of his essays with links to translations and various collateral material: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/
As a young programmer when he wrote it, I really enjoyed The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
That's Eric S Raymond (ESR) not Richard Stallman (RMS). ESR was an early and influencial voice in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), advocating for a distinction between Open Source and Free Software, acknowledging the GNU Public License (GPL) would not work for all parties, some flexibility was need.
RMS is a GPL purist and against any form of compromise. Both made a huge impact and helped make the world and internet better. But they both contributed in very different ways.
Once again, I confuse the two. :) Thanks for pointing it out.
No worries. It's all good. 😁
