SSLUG says: Software patents - No thanks!. The Skåne Sjælland Linux User Group has put up a document describing in detail their opposition to the granting of software patents in Europe. It's available in English, Swedish, Danish, and Spanish. "The Amazon patent constitutes a crime of theft from society as a whole because the inventors of the basic web technologies at the heart of the Amazon one-click technique have put them at the disposal of everyone free of charge."

Unix Web Application Architectures document. Samuli Kärkkäinen has made available a white paper on how to write web application servers. It covers a number of the technologies that are available and contains a lot of good information.
