공공저작물의 자유이용 활성화를 위한 개선방안

With enforcement of Article 24-2 of copyright law prescribing free use of copyrighted public records, works created and published for business by nation or local governments become the target of free use. In addition, new social and economic added value is expected to be created because the copyright of public institutions is recognized through ‘Gonggongnuri’ (Korea Open Government License, KOGL), the Korean creative commons license supporting this provision and copyrighted public records are actively disclosed to and used by the private sector through the simplification of the use permission procedures. However, the followings seem to be reviewed: Despite the introduction of Article 24-2 of copyright law and Gonggongnuri, confusion can be caused because the provision itself of Article 24-2 of copyright law and the relationship with other laws are complex and unclear. In addition, in order to guarantee the free use of the general public and ensure the effectiveness of Article 24-2 of amended copyright law and Gonggongnuri, the analysis of other laws associated with Article 24-2 and institutional review and improvement should be carried out. Thus, this study first presents the amendment plan of Article 24-2 of copyright law and conflict resolution plan with other laws and suggest ways to increase the efficiency of the use of copyrighted public records and Gonggongnuri by building the cooperation system between Gonggongnuri and private portals and users.
