谷歌是怎樣做開源的?

Marc Merlin at LinuxCon North America

在各種開源技術領域,谷歌早期的貢獻主要是錯誤修復。

「我們通常是第一個發現並修復那些只在我們這個量級出現的錯誤的」,Merlin 說。

到現在,Merlin 說谷歌已經為 Linux 內核貢獻了超過 5000 個補丁,補丁涵蓋了從小的修復到完整的驅動程序和類似容器這樣的子系統。

隨著谷歌在開源領域的努力,現在已經在 GitHub 上發布了超過 3000 個開源項目。為了以法律的角度來管理整個過程,Merlin 說谷歌有六個人專門在內部從事使用和發布開源軟體的合規管理。

為了保證法律上的一致性,谷歌將所有外部的開源代碼存儲在一個第三方體系內。Merlin 補充說,谷歌只允許使用谷歌能夠遵循的許可證的開源軟體。其中一個不能接受的許可證AGPL (Affero General Public License),它是一個互惠的許可證,要求使用該代碼需提供一個到源代碼的鏈接。

「確保我們沒有在任何對外的產品中使用 AGPL 代碼的代價太高,相較而言,不如找一個限制性更少的替代品或我們自己寫一個」,Merlin 說。

對於那些貢獻給谷歌項目的代碼,谷歌要求開發者接受一個 貢獻者許可協議 Contributor License Agreement (CLA),該 CLA 主要是讓谷歌可以對貢獻的代碼重新頒發許可證,並為谷歌提供代碼的專利授權。

「你仍然擁有你的代碼,你只是授予谷歌一個許可而已」,Merlin 說。
