I think www.gnu.org/philosophy is the first place to get into the Free Software idea.
The philosophy page is pretty overwhelming if you're new to the idea. It's a page full of links, with no real indication about what you should and shouldn't read - it's not really introductory material.
Compare to the likes of http://mirrors.creativecommons.org/getcreative/clicktoplay.html (yes, it's Flash) which is much more accessible to the average joe who's never heard of the idea.
