自由開源軟體能令軟體從排他的、不自由的狀態獲得解放,在採用有別於專屬軟體之授權條款,將此依法享有財產權之軟體在特定條件下使不特定人自由地利用。當自由開源軟體之成果逐漸累積,企業開始紛紛探索將自由開源軟體應用於商業之各種可能,其中智慧型手機作業系統平台 Android,更吸引應用程式開發者、手機製造商和用戶之強烈關注。至 2015 年第一季,採 Android 平台之智慧型手機在市場上已有近 78%的市佔率,可知採用 GPL(General Public License)授權之 Android 平台未來商機無限,惟應用此等自由開源軟體並非全無侵犯著作權之法律風險,故本文擬由自由開源軟體之發展、授權模式,及 Android 平台作業系統架構,聚焦於 Android 區隔 GPL 授權拘束之機制,試分析 Android 平台應用自由開源軟體所面臨之法律風險。

| 英文摘要: |
Free Open Source Software has liberated software from the status of exclusive use. By utilizing a clause of authorization, Open Source Software that entitles to legal protection of property right can open to unspecified people under certain conditions. Because of the growing use of Open Source Software, corporations have begun investigating its potential commercial opportunities. Among them, the Android smartphone operating system (OS), which uses open source coding, has attracted considerable attention from application developers, mobile phone manufacturers, and users. By 2015 Q1, Android smartphones had approximately 85% coverage of the smartphone market. The Android OS, which is licensed under the General Public License (GPL), clearly has unlimited commercial potential. However, corporations that develop Open Source Software bear some risks of copyright infringement. Focusing on insulating mechanism of Android regarding to GPL authorization binding forces on, this article analyzes the legal risks involved in developing Open Source Software on the Android platform through examining the development, authorization, and structure of the Android OS platform.
