Abstract
The article analyses the current legislation as regards the identification of persons to whom the rights to a computer programme should belong: whether they are authors, copyright holders or users? It emphasises the development of a part of a software product as a significant attribute for determining its authorship. The composition of the software development project team is considered, and it is analysed which of these roles can lead to the emergence of authorship for a computer programme created within the project. The question of whether task trackers and other automated project management systems can replace job descriptions for the purposes of confirming the official status of the programme is being investigated. In addition, examples of automatic programming tools are presented and the question of whether the user of such software tools can be the author of a computer programme created with their help is considered.
