修改和使用第三方开源软件后重新发布开源License怎么写,看看Apache Maven就明白了

本文通过Apache Maven的例子详细解释了当修改或引用开源软件并重新发布时,如何正确处理LICENSE、NOTICE和README文件。LICENSE文件包含了项目自身的授权条款和第三方组件的授权信息,NOTICE文件用于声明版权和第三方组件的版权信息,README文件则提供项目简介和使用指导。遵循这些最佳实践,可以帮助确保在维护开源精神的同时保护自身和他人的权益。

有人说,看了很多开源License的文章,我还是不知道如果修改了或者引用了他人发布的开源软件,然后重新发布自己的修改版本,该怎么做?如何加上自己的著作权同时又尊重原来的作者。其实就差一个例子,看看Apache Maven就明白了。

一、安装包中包含LICENSE、NOTICE、README三个文本文件

打开Apache Maven一目了然,里面包含三个文件“LICENSE、NOTICE、README”且都是文本文件,如下图所示:

很多程序员写项目都会忽略写文档,一个完整的项目建议包含这三个文件,既能提升档次,又能给用户帮助。这三个文件合成一个行不行呢?也可以,其实没有严格的规定,但是建议分开,这三个文件各有侧重,而且很多大型的开源项目都是必备这三个文件,建议向大佬看齐。下面依次打开这三个文件,看看全文、

二、LICENSE文件及内容

打开Apache Maven中的LICENSE文件可以看到主要分成两大部分:
第一部分:Apache LICENSE2.0的内容,也是Apache Maven自身的授权条款。

第二部分:Apache Maven中用到的第三方组件和它的License。如果没有用到第三方开源项目或者第三方开源项目与Maven授权一样,那么这一部分可以不写,但是版权中必须声明第三方项目所属的版权(可在NOTICE中统一声明)。同理,如果当前项目是一个衍生产品,即基于他人的作品修改后的发布,那么也是采用同样的处理方式。
Apache Maven的License全文内容如下:
