ABSTRACT

In this research we tried to attempted to explain why the demand for Linux server software had been dramatically increased in recent years using the determinant factors such as network externality as well as demand promoting policy. According to the results of empirical analysis, the demand for server softwares such as Linux as well as Unix, Window and others was not only affected by its own network externality positively, but also by other network externality negatively. In particular, the recent demand for Linux software was increased dramatically by government demand promoting polices, which overwhelmed network externality of proprietary software. From the empirical result we can derive that the monopoly power formulated by network effect of propraetor software were protected not by patent law, but by copy right instead.

KEYWORDS
