Wow, many great references, thanks to everyone who posted thus far. The
literature on the topic is extensive, but in my work I find that all too
often open source (a 'functional' good) and open content (a 'cultural' good)
are lumped together. I tried to sketch out their differences w.r.t.
motivations and consequences for organization and licensing in this article
I published last year:
>From open source to open content: Organization, licensing and decision
processes in open cultural production
Decision Support Systems, Volume 47, Issue 3, June 2009, Pages 229-244

Also relevant is the work by Bob Kraut and his team at CMU on motivations to
contribute to online communities.
Best,
