IEEE Spectrum has two articles about the upcoming 25th anniversary of the Linux kernel later this year. The first is
Linux at 25: Why It Flourished While Others Fizzled [ieee.org] which attributes the success to timing, cost, and the right license. The second is an actual
interview with Linus Torvalds [ieee.org] himself about various topics related to the past, present, and future of Linux. The kernel started out as "just a hobby" without aspiration to become big and professional like GNU. Yet it has grown and evolved into what appears to be the largest online collaborative project to-date by far.
