开源许可证增长的双重模型

A Dual Model of Open Source License Growth

Gottfried Hoffmann, Dirk Riehle, Carsten Kolassa, Wolfgang Mauerer

摘要:

每个开源项目都需要决定开源许可证。这个决定具有高度的经济相关性:哪种许可证是帮助项目发展和吸引社区的最佳许可证?最常见的问题是:项目应该选择限制性(互惠)许可证还是更宽松的许可证?作为回答这个问题的重要一步,本文分析了十年来开源项目的实际许可选择和相关项目的增长。它提供了封闭的分析模型,并发现2001年左右,许可证选择发生了逆转,从限制性许可证转向许可证。

英文摘要:

Every open source project needs to decide on an open source license. This decision is of high economic relevance: Just which license is the best one to help the project grow and attract a community? The most common question is: Should the project choose a restrictive (reciprocal) license or a more permissive one? As an important step towards answering this question, this paper analyses actual license choice and correlated project growth from ten years of open source projects. It provides closed analytical models and finds that around 2001 a reversal in license choice occurred from restrictive towards permissive licenses.
