谷歌是怎样做开源的?

Marc Merlin at LinuxCon North America

在各种开源技术领域,谷歌早期的贡献主要是错误修复。

“我们通常是第一个发现并修复那些只在我们这个量级出现的错误的”,Merlin 说。

到现在,Merlin 说谷歌已经为 Linux 内核贡献了超过 5000 个补丁,补丁涵盖了从小的修复到完整的驱动程序和类似容器这样的子系统。

随着谷歌在开源领域的努力,现在已经在 GitHub 上发布了超过 3000 个开源项目。为了以法律的角度来管理整个过程,Merlin 说谷歌有六个人专门在内部从事使用和发布开源软件的合规管理。

为了保证法律上的一致性,谷歌将所有外部的开源代码存储在一个第三方体系内。Merlin 补充说,谷歌只允许使用谷歌能够遵循的许可证的开源软件。其中一个不能接受的许可证AGPL (Affero General Public License),它是一个互惠的许可证,要求使用该代码需提供一个到源代码的链接。

“确保我们没有在任何对外的产品中使用 AGPL 代码的代价太高,相较而言,不如找一个限制性更少的替代品或我们自己写一个”,Merlin 说。

对于那些贡献给谷歌项目的代码,谷歌要求开发者接受一个 贡献者许可协议 Contributor License Agreement (CLA),该 CLA 主要是让谷歌可以对贡献的代码重新颁发许可证,并为谷歌提供代码的专利授权。

“你仍然拥有你的代码,你只是授予谷歌一个许可而已”,Merlin 说。
