- Dual Licensing
in Open Source
Software
Industry: This paper
analyses how
several open
source
companies use
dual
licensing:
both open
source and
proprietary
licenses for
one product.
Three case
studies based
on the
experiences of
companies
Sleepycat
Software Inc.,
MySQL AB, and
TrollTech AS
illustrate the
issue.
Especially the
legal and
economic
requirements
of dual
licensing are
identified.

- Licensing in
the Theory of
Innovation: The RAND
Journal of
Economics,
Vol. 16, No.
2. (1985), pp.
237-252.This
article
analyzes
licensing in a
noncooperative
R&D game. We
ask two
questions:
What are the
incentives for
licensing a
production
technology and
what is the
impact of
licensing on
the pattern of
innovation and
the consequent
evolution of
industry costs
and market
structure? The
gains from
trading
information
through
licensing
contracts are
achieved
through the
replacement of
inefficient
production
techniques
(the ex post
incentive) and
the
elimination of
inefficient
research
expenditures
(the ex ante
incentive). In
a duopoly the
availability
of licensing
encourages
research when
the firms'
initial
production
technologies
are close in
costs and
discourages
research when
initial costs
are
asymmetric.

Licensing of
Innovations: The RAND
Journal of
Economics,
Vol. 16, No.
4. (1985), pp.
504-520.We
study a
three-stage,
asymmetric
duopoly game
of R&D
rivalry. The
stages are:
(1)
development of
an innovation;
(2) fixed-fee
licensing of
the
innovation;
and (3) sale
of the final
product. We
find that
major
innovations
will not be
licensed, but
that equally
efficient
firms will
tend to
license minor
innovations.
For some
innovations,
licensing is
both privately
and socially
undesirable.
If at least
one of the two
producers
would refuse
to license
(were it to
acquire the
innovation),
then licensing
will not
occur; an
excluding firm
will obtain
the
innovation.
The
possibility of
licensing may
decrease the
returns to
innovation if
the licensee
appropriates
most of the
licensing
gains to
trade.
