Some places have them. I took an elective class at university which focused on open source philosophy & licenses. Read and discussed a bunch of papers written by the guys involved in the early open source movement. Stopped short of code review though: which would have been a nice addition.

A very very good paper, and one that was clearly a passion project for the prof.

I've enjoyed "Sandworm" by Andy Greenberg (around the Russian GRU organization) and "Countdown to Zero Day" by Kim Zetter (around Stuxnet)
There's a fantastic book about this group published recently titled "Sandworm" by Andy Greenberg.
