Abstract

The open source software is widely used nowadays so that means developing software without using open source software can hardly imagine. However, the developer's recognition about the license statements that defines the requirements in accordance with the use of open source is relatively low and a few study is associated with this topic. Therefore, this study examines the use of open source in software development in the context of EDISON project in the national research and development project. Furthermore, the study attempts to suggest the advanced model from simply avoiding license conflicts to constructing the open source project ecosystem including the choose of representative open source, the development of open source communities and contributor agreements.

오늘날 소프트웨어 개발에 있어서 오픈소스 소프트웨어를 사용하지 않고 개발되는 프로그램이 거의 없을 정도로 오픈소스의 활용이 보편화되고 있으나 오픈소스의 사용에 따른 의무사항을 정의한 라이선스 조항에 대하여는 개발자들의 인식이 상대적으로 저조한 편이며 이에 대한 사례 연구도 적은 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국가연구개발사업으로 수행 중인 첨단 사이언스 교육허브개발사업의 오픈소스 활용실태를 점검하고 잠재적 위험 여부를 분석하였으며 이를 통하여 바람직한 공공부문에서의 오픈소스 라이선스 관리 방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 특히 단순히 오픈소스 라이선스의 점검을 통한 라이선스 침해나 위반 사례를 점검하는 소극적인 방식에서 한 걸음 더 나아가 오픈소스 프로젝트로 전환하기 위하여 대표 오픈소스를 선정하고 오픈소스 커뮤니티를 구성하는 한편, 기여자 계약을 설정해야 함을 제안하였다.
