摘　　要：著作权法的宗旨是在作者与公众之间构建最利于促进科学和文化发展的利益平衡关系,从而增进社会公共利益。传统著作权法对软件反向工程相关利益关系缺少具体评价。当前法律普遍认可通过反向工程来获取商业秘密的合法性。对法律价值取向的分析应着眼于法律制度的整体。通过比较软件反向工程与传统制造业中反向工程所涉利益格局的异同,依据现有法律蕴含的价值评价,可推演出允许实施软件反向工程有利于促进社会整体利益的判断。软件反向工程并不等于抄袭。在管制利用反向工程结果进行软件抄袭的问题上,重点在于通过立法、法律解释和司法进一步明确软件侵权判定标准和提高鉴定水平。The purpose of copyright law is to build a balance between the authors and the public, which should best promote the development of science and culture so as to increase public interest. The traditional copy- right law lacks concrete value judgment on relevant interests of software reverse engineering. The value orientation of the law should be analyzed within the whole legal system. With the comparison of the interest conflicts involved in reverse engineering in software industry and traditional manufacturing industries, it can be concluded that allo- wing software engineering can promote public interest on the basis of current value judgment contained in the law. The software reverse engineering does not mean plagiarism. The emphasis of controlling the reverse engineering to plagiarize is to further clarify the criterion of software copyright infringement and improve the relative judicial identi- fication by law-making, legal interpretation and justice.
