   How can I get information on the arguments against copyright and
   patent protection of computer software?

Get prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/lpf/* or osu-cis!~/lpf/*.  In particular,
see look-and-feel.texinfo, patents.texinfo, and lpf.join.

   Are there any papers or position statements from key proponents of
   free software?

In the GNU Emacs distribution, see etc/{GNU,INTERVIEW,MOTIVATION}.
Get GNU Emacs from prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/emacs-18.55.tar.Z or from
osu-cis!~/gnu/emacs/18.55/emacs-18.55.tar.Z-part-?? [aa-br].
