“…For instance, the user may be limited in his ability to 1 Gallini and Wright [1990] and Katz and Shapiro [1986] are illustrative of this literature. Also relevant are those works that explore the real consequences of the licensing decision, whether the impact of this choice on subsequent innovations by the original innovator (Gandall and Rockett [1995]), the decision of rivals to enter the market (Gallini [1984]; Rockett [1990]), or the nature of the competitive dynamics in the industry (Shepard [1987]). distribute a modified version of the program as a proprietary commercial product without releasing the underlying source code.…”

This paper is an initial exploration of the determinants of open source license choice. It first enumerates the various considerations that should figure into the licensor's choice of contractual terms, in particular highlighting how the decision is shaped not just by the preferences of the licensor itself, but also by that of the community of developers. The paper then presents an empirical analysis of the determinants of license choice using the Source Forge database, a compilation of nearly 40,000 open source projects. Projects geared toward end-users tend to have restrictive licenses, while those oriented toward developers are less likely to do so. Projects that are designed to run on commercial operating systems and those geared towards the Internet are less likely to have restrictive licenses. Finally, projects that are likely to be attractive to consumers such as games are more likely to have restrictive licenses. A more tentative conclusion based on a much smaller sample is that projects that involve software developed in a corporate setting are likely to have more restrictive licenses. These findings are broadly consistent with theoretical predictions.

“…En fonction de l'objectif poursuivi, les licences stratégiques peuvent avoir ou non un impact anticoncurrentiel (Tableau 1). Les déterminants stratégiques peuvent renvoyer aux caractéristiques de la technologie (Katz et Shapiro, 1986b), à celles des entrants potentiels (Gallini, 1984 ;Gallini et Winter, 1985 ;Rockett, 1990 ;Eswaran, 1994b), ou à la crédibilité des engagements pris (Shepard, 1987).…”

La licence défensive : Une option stratégique pour les PME innovantes ?. Revue internationale P. M.E., 26 (3-4), 41-61. doi:10.7202/1024518ar Résumé de l'article À partir de l'étude d'une base de 297 licences internationales collectées auprès des membres de la « Licensing Executive Society », nous montrons que les stratégies de licence défensive sont déployées principalement par de petites entreprises qui n'ont pas les ressources nécessaires pour exclure seules les contrefacteurs potentiels. Par ailleurs, nous mettons en évidence la nature paradoxale de ces stratégies pour le bien-être du breveté. Nous montrons notamment que l'implication du licencié dans la défense des brevets concédés va généralement de pair avec une augmentation des risques contractuels pour le concédant.

“…An innovative leader might also use licensing to control competition, such as when a 'patent monopolist' chooses, after its patent expires, to license its technology to weak competitors to crowd the market and deter entry by stronger ones (Rockett, 1990).…”

The aims of this paper are to bring together the various streams of research in this area and discuss their major assumptions and limitations, in order to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the phenomenon, and identify promising paths for future research. We start our review by identifying the object of market exchange -that is, an invention whose knowledge has been codified and disembodied from individuals, organizations or artifacts. We then identify those factors that enable firms to trade inventions, distinguishing between institutional-, firm-, and industry-level factors. We close our analysis of the extant literature by discussing the implications of markets for inventions for firm behavior and performance. Against this background, we highlight an important avenue for future research. A neglected implication of the development of invention markets is that firms are confronted with a wide variety of technological paths from which to choose, because the opportunity to acquire technologies on the market offers them a greater variety that can their internal R&D departments. However, the streams of research on markets for inventions and on R&D allocation strategies have been surprisingly disconnected so far. Hence, in the final section, we start to establish and explore the link between these literatures, and to identify a research agenda in this domain. Permanent repository link3
