I agree that there is much good information in the document. The responses are well thought out and may be directly implementable after review with Legal.

However, I do see that there may also be some inconsistencies in interpretation both at a country and individual company level.

Would you consider perhaps overall disclaimer for the FAQ responses that directs the reader to discuss application of the specific issue and answer with the Company or Organization’s Intellectual Property Legal Counsel? That Legal Counsel would be responsible to determine the precise interpretation under the Country and Company laws or policies.

Thank you for very good advice.
Updated the FAQ cover page with the following note.

◆This FAQ is based on Japanese law. Laws vary from country to country, and
measures for each case may vary from company to company. Consult your
company or organization's intellectual property counsel for specific issues.

Please let me know if there is any shortage.

大内さん、

 

  お久しぶりです。 以前、富士通でお世話になった伊達です。FQAに対する私の認識です。

 

1.日本の法律に基づいていない。

 

-      日本の法律、裁判ではOSSのライセンス、GPLライセンスなどがライセンスなのか、アグリーメントなのかも判断できてない。当然、GPLのデリバティブの範囲も明確になっていない。

-      共同著作権保持者の規定も米国、ヨーロッパと異なる。Patrick McHardygpl-violations.orgのケースは日本では主張できない。

-      ソフト特許の範囲も日本ではあまり明確でない。私の知る限り、米国でもまだ、不明確な点があり、ヨーロッパではソフト特許は認められていない、です。

 

2.結論は、「FQAは、オープンソース協会のメンバーの中で、共通認識として作成された指針」、です。全体を見るとむしろ米国の法律を意識しているのかと感じました。

 

  くだらない、コメントで恐縮です。

 

以上、伊達です。

Hi Ouchi San,

I would also like to thank you for compiling and obviously sharing the contents of the FAQ, I realize that this is a lot of effort.
We, at Orange, are currently using it to improve our own documentation.
I can't even say that we will propose new entries, because it looks pretty complete already !

Hi Ouchi San,

I would also like to thank you for compiling and obviously sharing the
contents of the FAQ, I realize that this is a lot of effort.
We, at Orange, are currently using it to improve our own documentation.
I can't even say that we will propose new entries, because it looks
pretty complete already !

Hi ouchi-san,

I would like to thank you for your effort regarding the FQA.

I understand that it is difficult to create this kind of FQA despite
of differences of laws of countries.  However, your trying is very
important while this circumstances to share common understanding of
OSS governance worldwide.
