  • Software Licenses, Open Source Components, and Open Architectures
    Software Licenses, Open Source Components, and Open Architectures Thomas A. Alspaugh1, Hazeline U. Asuncion2, and Walt Scacchi1 1Institute for Software Research University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-3455 USA 2Computing and Software Systems University of Washington, Bothell Bothell, WA 98011-8246 USA ABSTRACT A substantial number of enterprises and independent software vendors are adopting a strategy in which software-intensive systems are developed with an open architecture (OA) that may contain open source software (OSS) components or components with open APIs. The emerging challenge is to realize the benefits of openness when components are subject to different copyright or property licenses. In this paper we identify key properties of OSS licenses, present a license analysis scheme to identify license conflicts arising from composed software elements, and apply it to provide guidance for software architectural design choices whose goal is to enable specific licensed component configurations. Our scheme has been implemented in an operational environment and demonstrates a practical, automated solution to the problem of determining overall rights and obligations for alternative OAs as a technique for aligning such architectures with enterprise strategies supporting open systems. INTRODUCTION A substantial number of enterprises and independent software vendors are adopting a strategy in which software-intensive systems are developed with open source software (OSS) components or components with open APIs. It has been common for both independent or corporate-sponsored OSS projects to require that developers contribute their work under conditions that ensure the project can license its products under a specific OSS license. For example, the Apache Contributor License Agreement grants enough rights to the Apache Software Foundation for the foundation to license the resulting systems under the Apache License.
