"Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution" (2001) by Glyn Moody is a narrative history of the Linux kernel and the broader open-source movement, covering the period from linus-torvalds's creation of Linux through the late 1990s open-source boom.
The book provides detailed accounts of the key figures and organizations in the movement: stallman and the gnu-project, Torvalds and Linux, eric-raymond and the open-source-initiative, bruce-perens and Debian. It is a journalistic history rather than a philosophical analysis, making it useful for reconstructing the sequence of events in the gpl-and-linux-era-1991-1998 and free-vs-open-source-schism-1998-2007 eras.
Moody's treatment of stallman is sympathetic but places him as one actor among many in a movement that outgrew his original vision. This perspective — that gnu-linux-naming matters less than the practical achievement of widespread free/open-source software — is precisely what stallman contests in why-open-source-misses-the-point and gnu-linux-naming.
The book covers the open-source-definition-schism and the events leading to the founding of the open-source-initiative, including the tensions between the free-software-definition standard and the pragmatic "open source" rebranding.
Useful as a companion to free-as-in-freedom-williams and cathedral-and-bazaar-raymond for reconstructing the full landscape of the movement during the critical late-1990s period when the gpl-copyleft-mechanism was being tested at scale by Linux's rapid adoption.
