Digital License Prototype for Copyright Management of Software Source Code

The digital contents expand into software source code and maintenance of technology and IPR about source code have a very important meaning to international competition, The recognition about software security is very low specially among these Intellectual Property Rights. On occurring disputation property, we have to prove the fact, there is a problem to discriminate the original source code, Also, it is hard to accurate decision that is correct to complexity and the lack of read and understand ability even if software is reproduced. In this paper, we don't enforce distinction about software reproduction by one individual code unit. And we developed digital license prototype of XML that can distinguish reproduction based on structural conformability of whole source codes. Software has Context Free Grammar in structure and presents BNF notation type, it is apt to present hierarchical structure. Then, we can express architecture of software source code by hierarchical structure to discriminate structural conformability. In this paper, we make a study of the digital licence prototype for discriminate the original source code. Reserved words of software source code by parsing express to XML file that have hierarchical structure. Then, we can express architecture of software source code by tree structure form instead of complex source code.
