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.
