In this presentation, we aim to delve into the intricate aspects of the GNU General Public License (GPL), with a specific focus on its interpretation under Chinese law. The license's understanding and application may vary due to distinct legal systems contexts. Throughout this talk, we will reveal cutting-edge research findings of our legal team and propose an interpretative model to address complex legal challenges presented by the GPL.
Given China's influential role in the global technology landscape, its interpretation and application of the GPL license could have far-reaching impacts on international software development and distribution. More importantly,an unambiguous comprehension of this subject is crucial for software developers, users, or organizations that intend to navigate within this license framework in China, thereby influencing the growth and dynamism of the Chinese open-source community.
