That one always makes for a good read.
Unfortunately for the francophone readers, the url for the French version is currently squatted by what appears to be a groupuscule of dangerous libertarians. Strangely, ESR is not in the list of their favorite readings, so the bazaar has disappeared.
I wonder what the Linux foundation would think about this.
EDIT: here is a working link to the French version: https://cbarousse.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/cathedrale-bazar.pdf
