I just listened to this yesterday, the guest was David A. Wheeler and
he's got a bunch of really great links to resources he mentioned in
the podcast on his website dwheeler.com

Of particular interest to me was "Why Open Source Software / Free
Software (OSS/FS, FLOSS, or FOSS)? Look at the Numbers!"
http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html (this may be the paper he
refers to in the podcast? warning: it's long!)

And also:

"Open Source Software (OSS) in U.S. Government Acquisitions"
http://dwheeler.com/essays/oss-government-acquisitions.html
"Free-Libre / Open Source Software (FLOSS) is Commercial Software"
http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/commercial-floss.html
