I'm not sure I finished this completely, but I did read enormous chunks of it for a project on open source library systems, and I can recommend it as the best explanation of the open source model of production generally I've come across. You don't have to be a geek to understand it, although geeks and businesspeople are clearly the intended audience.

I wanted to read this book since I work at Red Hat.

The book isn't really a 'rah-rah-rah!' open source companies, but it does give me some comfort that Red Hat will stick around. ( )
