开源软件著作权归属问题分析

Analysis of the Copyright Ownership of Open Source Software

摘要: 开源软件近些年的发展非常迅速，发展开源软件产业是我国在技术上实现“弯道超车”的重要战略，这离不开相应知识产权的保护。我国出台的《知识产权强国建设纲要(2021~2035年)》中就提到完善开源知识产权和法律体系，本文就开源软件的著作权权属问题进行深入分析，首先介绍了开源软件和开源许可证，第二部分强调以著作权法规制开源软件的现实需求，第三部分提出在开源软件认定著作权归属的复杂问题，最后提出了明确开源软件著作权归属的可行建议。

Abstract: The development of open source software industry is an important strategy for our country to achieve our “corner overtaking” in technology, which is inseparable from the protection of corresponding intellectual property rights. The “Outline for the Construction of a Strong Intellectual Property Country (2021-2035)” issued by our country mentions improving the open-source intellectual property and legal system. This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the copyright ownership issues related to open source software. First, it introduces open source software and open source licenses. The second part emphasizes the practical need to regulate open source software through copyright law. The third part raises the complex issue of copyright attribution in open source software. Finally, feasible suggestions were proposed for the clear attribution of copyright in open source software.
