I'm honestly not sure about this - on the one hand, that would be the ideal, but on the other, this would cause a huge availability problem. I'll think on it.

Check the websites or all the game engines - do they have wikis, and under which license?
I liked several games by Jason Rohrer. He makes them free as in freedom, including all the material. Does he write or blog about this too? Worth checking
Joey Hess programs in Haskell and made at least one game. He also blogs often describing what he does in detail, and I'm quite sure it's under a free culture license.
I'm a bit tired so please excuse me for not checking all of these thoroughly, but here are ideas I know:
- <http://libremusicproduction.com>
- <http://wikibooks.org>
- <http://wiki.haskell.org> -- specific to Haskell

@fr33domlover: Thanks for all these! I've only found one completed Wikibook on the topic of programming (Lua, admittedly, which is nice). I'd have to check the others for how complete they are - I'd rather only have completed resources here.
Jason unfortunately has only written some stuff for the Escapist about game development, and that is definitely not free-licensed. Joey Hess' blog is getting added, though, as well as the Haskell wiki. I'll do more digging to see what else I can discover.

I found these, which could be useful:

HTML5 Game Development is all rights reserved, so it's definitely not getting added. The Intel one is even worse. The forum link is definitely good, but it falls under the purview of our community inclusion discussion. The LibreGameWiki might require some sifting, though some of its games might serve as good examples.

Either books or online resources are fine.
Must the learning resources be under a free license? If so, then our choice is quite limited.

Closing this due to supercession by other issues.
