Subject: Re: [License-review] For Approval: MulanOWL BY v1; MulanOWL BY-SA v1;MulanOWL BY-PL v1; MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1
Below is the recommendation of the License Committee on approval of the Mulan Open Works Licenses. The Board's vote is scheduled for the next meeting on September 15.
Licenses: Mulan Open Works License Attribution, Version 1
Mulan Open Works License Attribution-PatentLicensed, Version 1
Mulan Open Works License Attribution-ShareAlike, Version 1
Mulan Open Works License Attribution-PatentLicensed-ShareAlike, Version 1 (Exhibit A)
Submitted: 20 February 2023, https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2023-February/005356.html
Decision date: due no later than the first Board meeting after April 20, 2023
License Review Committee Recommendation:
Resolved that it is the opinion of the OSI that the licenses, as open culture licenses, are not appropriate for OSI approval.
Rationale Document
Reasons for withholding approval: The subject matter of licenses is “intellectual achievement protected by copyright law that is licensed under This License, including but not limited to a written work, a musical work, a fine art work, an architecture work, a photographic work, an audiovisual work, a graphic work, and a model work.” Because of the differences in the purposes and goals of these different (albeit related) areas, open culture licenses are outside the purview of the Open Source Initiative.
Exhibit A
1) Mulan Open Works License Attribution, Version 1 (MulanOWL BY v1):

Dear License Review Team,
I would like to submit Mulan Open Works Licenses, Version 1 (Mulan OWLs v1) for approval.
Submission type: For Approval.
Submission name: Mulan OWLs v1 are a new member of Mulan license family, in which Mulan PSL v2 has been approved by the OSI in 2020. Mulan OWLs v1 are a suite of four licenses:
- Mulan Open Works License Attribution, Version 1 (MulanOWL BY v1): http://license.coscl.org.cn/MulanOWLBYv1
- Mulan Open Works License Attribution-ShareAlike, Version 1 (MulanOWL BY-SA v1): http://license.coscl.org.cn/MulanOWLBYSAv1
- Mulan Open Works License Attribution-PatentLicensed, Version 1 (MulanOWL BY-PL v1): http://license.coscl.org.cn/MulanOWLBYPLv1
- Mulan Open Works License Attribution-PatentLicensed-ShareAlike, Version 1 (MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1): http://license.coscl.org.cn/MulanOWLBYPLSAv1
Rationale:
1) Nowadays, the idea and production mode of open source have been extended to other types of works. We present two real examples below:
- Example 1: users have been increasingly utilizing the GitHub infrastructure to collaboratively create open tutorials and learning materials, such as technical interview tutorials (e.g., https://github.com/CyC2018/CS-Notes) and programming materials (https://github.com/lydiahallie/javascript-questions) [see our research paper: Yao Lu et al., Studying in the ‘Bazaar’: an Exploratory Study of Crowdsourced Learning in GitHub]. Many of these non-software projects have become as popular as well-known software projects, especially that the most-stars Java project in GitHub, CyC2018/CS-Notes, is a non-software project.
- Example 2: Chinese designers (mainly for UI design) have recently proposed the initiative of Open Design in 2022 (https://view.inews.qq.com/k/20220509A04SIY00?web_channel=wap&openApp=false&pgv_ref=baidutw). The core values of Open Design are: open copyright, active ecosystems, and collaboratively creating. These values stem from the idea of open source and have made a significant impact in the field of design: the popular Chinese design platform, js.design (https://js.design/community?category=explore), has accumulated a considerable number of open design works, and designers can easily create adapted works based on existing open design works on the site.
Inheriting the idea of open source software, these works have the following characteristics: a) open use, b) free distribution, and c) allowing modification, which we call open works. Like open source software license, open works license is a format contract with legal effect that regulates and restricts the copying, use, modification and distribution of open works. With the extension of open source in practice, the concept of ‘source’ can be extended and explained as ‘source file’, so as to include more types of works. We expect that the non-software open licenses which conform with the spirit of open source and can promote the development of open source can be included in the OSI-approved licenses. We note that the OSI has already approved licenses which are not purely for software, e.g., open font (IPA and OFL-1.1) and open hardware (CERN-OHLs-2.0), which we believe is in line with this trend.
2) We observe that right holders of open works present requirement for granting patent license, which can be reflected from the following two well-known cases:
- Case 1: In 2014, US electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc opened its patents for all to use through a “Patent Pledge” (https://www.tesla.cn/legal/additional-resources). The patents are mainly regarding to the manufacture of electric cars. People can download and use the related patent files. These files are textual works rather than software code.
- Case 2: In 2020, Medtronic opened design specifications for the Puritan BennettTM 560 (PB560) ventilator to allow innovators, inventors, start-ups, and academic institutions to manufacture ventilators (https://www.medtronic.com/us-en/e/open-files.html). The design specifications are mainly design documents including textual files and drawing files. These materials are licensed under a special permissive license that is drafted by Medtronic (https://www.medtronic.com/content/dam/medtronic-com/global/Corporate/covid19/documents/permissive-license-open-ventilator.pdf), which contains the grant of patent license. This case is related with the “Open Covid Pledge” and the “Open COVID License – Patent and Copyright (OCL-PC)” (https://opencovidpledge.org/v1-1-ocl-pc/), which also refers to granting patent license.
Additionally, the posted UI designs in the Example 2 in section 1) may also refer to granting design patent license.
Therefore, open works license should keep with users’ new requirements and include terms of granting license of patent covered by the copyrighted portion of the open works.
Distinguish:
As the name suggests, Mulan OWLs can be applied to general works under copyright law, so there is no existing OSI-approved license to directly compare and contrast it with. The set of licenses, of course, can be used for software (but not suggested) and thus are probably most closely comparable to Apache License 2.0, BSD 3-clause License and Mulan PSL v2. However, these licenses are not suitable for other types of works.
Overall, the main charateristics of Mulan OWLs v1 are summarized below:
- The licenses are applicable for open works (as explained in section 1));
- The licenses include two licenses that grant patent license (MulanOWL BY-PL v1 and MulanOWL BY-PL-SA v1);
- The licenses provide conventions of attribution for multiversion works, which facilitates the use and retrieval of works that are frequently modified, such as the crowdsourced works mentioned in Example 1;
- As with Mulan PSL v2, Mulan OWLs are written in both Chinese and English, which have the same legal effect. In case of divergence between the Chinese and English versions, the Chinese version shall prevail.
Legal review:
As with Mulan PSL, Mulan OWLs v1 were drafted by experts and lawyers from colleges, research institutions, enterprises and open source foundations. The lawyers are open source legal experts specialized in the field of intellectual property and open source software. Furthermore, the licenses have also been reviewed by two third-party law firms on and an open source legal expert in a company to ensure the license quality in legality and written.
Proliferation category: Other/Miscellaneous licenses. Mulan OWLs do not fall neatly into any non-other category:
- For “Licenses that are popular and widely used or with strong communities”: the licenses were published in December, 2022 and have not so far been widely used.
- For “Special purpose licenses”: the licenses do not require to meet a special need.
- For “Licenses that are redundant with more popular licenses”: not the case.
- For “Non-reusable licenses”: not the case.
- For “Superseded licenses” and “Licenses that have been voluntarily retired”: not the case.
I'm happy to deliver more information and look forward to your comments.
