“…License changes take place in very distinct contexts, particularly in relation to the need to adapt to the environment or change the business model. The development of cloud computing over the last ten years or so has shown how a company can move from a service delivery model to a publishing model and then to a service operator (SaaS) model by adapting the terms of its license (Viseur, 2013). These changes in project parameters may alter the conditions for value creation and appropriation within the project community (Charleux & Mione, 2018).…”

The literature dedicated to free and open source software emphasizes the support given by the community to software producers. However, the community is also a place of conflict and can sometimes experience violent splits (forks). Communities can show different forms of resistance to change. In this research, we propose a re-reading of these mechanisms of opposition in light of Albert Hirschman's theory (exit, voice, loyalty). We present the fork as a new form of defection (exit) allowed by licenses and discuss the rationality of choice for the economic actors who implement it.

Part 5: Intellectual Property and Legal IssuesInternational audienceFree and open source software is characterized by the freedoms and criteria that are warranted by specific licenses. These licenses describe the rights and duties of the licensors and licensees. However, a licensing change may be necessary in the life of an open source project to meet legal developments or to allow the implementation of new business models. This paper examines the motivations and impacts of license changes in open source projects. After a state of the art on the subject, a set of case studies where projects changed their license is presented. Then a set of motivations to change licenses, the ways to legally make this change, the problems caused by this change and a set of benefits of the license change are discussed
