NgoSeptemba ophelileyo, isiseko GNOME wasiwa enkundleni yi-patent troll ebizwa ngokuba yiRothschild Patent Imaging. Isikhalazo esivela kwinkampani eyayiphethe ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wayo asikwazi ukuba yinto engekho ngqiqweni: phakathi kwezityholo zayo yathi yayinelungelo lobunikazi ukuthumela imifanekiso ngaphandle kweentambo, ngoko ke bekufanele ukuba igxeka ezinye iinkampani ezinkulu ezifana ne-Apple okanye iGoogle, kodwa. Akazange abe nobuganga, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokubaluleka kwazo. Izolo, ndiyambulela uThixo, yonke le nto yaqala ukuba yinxalenye yexesha elidlulileyo.
Njenge uxele I-GNOME kwiwebhusayithi yayo esemthethweni, la maqela mabini afikelele kwisivumelwano. Ke ngoko, i-GNOME ingaqhubeka nomsebenzi wayo Shotwell, ingcambu yengxabano, kunye nezinye iiprojekthi kwaye iyaqinisekiswa ukuba ayizukugxekwa yiRothchild Patent Imaging, nokuba kungoku okanye kwixa elizayo, okanye yinjongo leyo. Kwaye elona candelo lililo, baya kuba nakho ukuqhubeka bekwenza njengoko besenzile ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, oko kukuthi, ukuyila kunye nokwazisa isoftware yabo njengoMthombo oVulekileyo. Ngapha koko, ilungelo lobunikazi ayizukumangalela nabani na osebenzisa amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kwisoftware evulelekileyo, enokuthi ithathelwe ingqalelo njengoloyiso olukhulu.
I-GNOME ingaqhubeka nokusebenza kuMthombo ovulekileyo
Kwesi sivumelwano, i-GNOME ifumana ukukhululwa kunye nesivumelwano sokuba singamangalelwa kuwo nawaphi na amalungelo abenzi abanjwa yiRothschild Patent Imaging. Ukongeza, bobabini iRothschild Pataging Imaging kunye noLeigh Rothschild banikezela ngenguqu kunye nesivumelwano kuyo nayiphi na isoftware ekhutshwe phantsi kwelayisenisi esele ivuliwe yomthombo ovulekileyo (kunye neenguqulelo zayo kamva), kubandakanya ipotifoliyo yelungelo elilodwa lomenzi weRothschild, ngokutsho kwesoftware. yinxalenye ebonakalayo yesityholo solwaphulo-mthetho.
Ngokwam, ndicinga ukuba nantsi into enokufundwa phakathi kwemigca: ukuba bathe bazakuvumela "amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza" ukuba asetyenziswe (masiyibeke kwiimpawu zokucaphula, kuba ewe) iiprojekthi ezisebenza kwiVuliwe Isoftware eyintsusa ikwathetha ukuba khange bathethe nto malunga namatyala apho isoftware ikumnini, okanye yintoni enye, Banokuzimisela ukumangalela ezinye iinkampani ngenxa yesizathu esinye bamangalela i-GNOME. Kwelinye icala, sinokucinga ukuba akukho nto banokuyenza kwaye bakhethe ukufikelela kwisivumelwano, beshiya benomsila phakathi kwemilenze yabo.
Ukuba ngu Ukuchithwa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, sinokuqiniseka ukuba baya kubuyela kumthwalo. Kwaye, kuthathelwa ingqalelo amanye amanqaku afakiwe kulomthetho, ndiyathemba ukuba kwixesha elizayo xa begqiba kwelokuba bamangalele, iya kuba nguGoogle okanye uApple. Ndicinga ukuba siza kuhleka.
