The Institutional Adaptation of Open Source Licenses Under the Framework of Copyright Law

MAO Yuhan NI Bowen TANG Zhenyu (School ofLaw,Jiangsu Normal University,Xuzhou ,China)

Abstract: [Purposes] This study aims to explore the conflict between the contractual nature of opensource licenses and the current copyright system,and to identify effective pathways for balancing the governance of the open-source ecosystem with intellectual property protection.[Methods] The analysis focuses on specific manifestations of the conflict between open-source licenses and the copyright system,including the tension between the collective rights of contributors and the statutory nature of copyright,as well as the ambiguity surrounding the legitimacy boundaries of "copyleft" infectious clauses.[Findings] Two types ofconflicts were identified:First,the unrestricted exercise of collctive rights by contributors in open-source projects contradicts the certainty and legality inherent in copyright legalism,potentially leading to confusion in the rules governing ownership and exercise of rights.Second, thelegitimacy boundaries of "copyleft" infectious clauses are ambiguous and prone to triggering disputes in legal application.[Conclusions] The Regulations on the Protection of Computer Software should be revised to clarify the rights boundaries of derivative works,establish a standard of "substantive independence," and innovatively introduce theories such as purposive interpretation and implied license to achieve a balance between the open-source ecosystem and intellectual property protection.
