公眾授權條款是否可以被修改以加入放寬或限縮條件？例如，基於 MIT、Apache、GPL 或 Creative Commons（CC）等授權條款加以調整，是否合法可行？過去二十年已有諸多實例可供參考。整體而言，公眾授權條款因使用者眾多，原則上不得新增原條款所無之限制，任何加嚴規定一般視為不可接受，若真有必要，應另創條款並更名以避免混淆。相較之下，策略性地放寬條款則較為常見，因其通常不會產生授權糾紛。本講座將從授權條款文本、條款維護組織的官方立場，以及若干重要案例切入，探討修改授權條款的可能性與實務，包括 Redis、MongoDB、iTextSharp 的授權演變，以及可能為主權 AI 發展而制定的補充條款，皆將納入討論範圍。
