I-sfc iyinhlangano engenzi nzuzo yekhaya kanye nenhlangano esekela ingqalasizinda yamaphrojekthi wesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile wamahhala.
Selokhu kumenyezelwe ukutholwa kweRed Hat ngabakwa-IBM, umphakathi uhlukene phakathi futhi abaningi baqinisekisa ukuthi ukuthengwa kweRed Hat ngeke kube yinto enhle emphakathini nakuba i-IBM iqinisekise ukuthi akukho okuzoshintsha futhi konke kuzofana. , okwakungenjalo, njengoba ngokunyakaza kokuqeda i-CentOS ukungabaza okuningi kwaqala ukuvela ngekusasa lokusabalalisa.
Futhi kubonakala sengathi izinkinga seziqalile ukuvela, njengoba uBradley M. Kuhn, oyi-CEO kanye nomsunguli we-Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), achaza izinkinga zokuthobela i-GPL ezivela kumodeli yebhizinisi le-Red Hat.
Eposini ubalula ukuthi:
I-Red Hat ikwazile ukwakha imodeli yebhizinisi ukuthi ngakolunye uhlangothi ibukeka futhi isebenza njengemodeli yokuphathelene futhi ngakolunye uhlangothi izama ukucabangela imigomo ye-GPL.
Abamele i-SFC babambe ukunaka kwabaphathi nabameli beRed Hat mayelana nemvelo enobutha yemodeli yebhizinisi yesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile, kodwa lUkukhathazeka okuphakanyisiwe akuzange kushaywe indiva, kwezinye izimo ngesiphakamiso sokumangalela uma othile ekholelwa ukuthi i-Red Hat yephula i-GPL.
Isikhathi eside, izingxoxo ezinjalo "zaziyimfihlo evulekile", njengoba bekunethemba lokuthi i-Red Hat izoshintsha ukuziphatha kwayo, kodwa izenzo zokususa i-CentOS nokumisa ukufinyelela komphakathi kumaphakheji we-RHEL srpm zibonisa ukuthi isimo siya ngokuba sibi kakhulu ku-Red Hat.
Imodeli yebhizinisi ye-Red Hat, okungukuthi ikhophi ngayinye ye-RHEL ihlanganisa inkontileka yokusekela kanye okubhaliselwe ukuthola izibuyekezo akungqubuzani ngokusemthethweni ne-GPL. Isivumelwano ne-Red Hat sikhuluma ngamalungelo angenamkhawulo okukhiqiza kabusha, ukusabalalisa kabusha, kanye nokufaka kabusha anikezwe i-GPL, kodwa futhi sithi inkampani inelungelo lokunqamula isivumelwano uma amakhophi angempela afakiwe nathengiwe e-RHEL engafani, okukuphoqa ukuthi khetha phakathi kokulahlwa mahhala kwesofthiwe nokugcinwa kwesimo sekhasimende le-Red Hat.
Ngokusho kwabameli bakwaRed Hat, imodeli yebhizinisi yenkampani ihambisana neGPL., njengoba i-GPL ingadingi ukulondolozwa kobudlelwano benkontileka phakathi kwezinhlangano. Abameli be-SFC abaqiniseki ngalokhu, njengoba ubudlelwano benkontileka bungaqedwa ngezenzo eziqinisekisiwe ku-GPL. Ubani olungile kunganqunywa kuphela enkantolo.
Imodeli yebhizinisi ilinganisela emkhawulweni, futhi ukuphambuka okuncane emithethweni emisiwe kungaholela ekwephuleni okusobala kakhulu kwelayisensi yamahhala. Njengesibonelo, amacala amabili okuphulwa kwe-GPL ngenxa yokwengezwa kwezivumelwano ezengeziwe ze-Red Hat anikezwa. Kuzo zombili izimo, i-Red Hat yavumelana nezimangalo futhi yayeka ukuthumela izimangalo eziyinkinga kumakhasimende.
Esimweni sokuqala, inkampani esebenzisa i-RHEL engqalasizinda yayo yaqala ukuthumela eyayo imikhiqizo. amaphakheji atholakala esidlangalaleni asekelwe ku-CentOS futhi afaka amaphakheji okuphathelene amaningana akhiwe ngokuqondile emithonjeni yephakheji ye-RHEL. I-Red Hat ithe umkhiqizo uqukethe izingxenye ze-RHEL futhi yathembisa ukukhokha izinzuzo ngokuthengisa. Ngaphandle kwalokho, I-Red Hat isabise ngokuyeka ukunikeza izinsizakalo zosekelo futhi ikhubaze ukufinyelela kuzibuyekezo. Njengoba inkampani yayinamandla kakhulu (iFortune 500) futhi inolwazi lokuxazulula izinkinga zomthetho, ayizange inyakaze futhi iRed Hat ayizange ilokothe ukunqamula isivumelwano nayo.
Kulesi simo, kube nokuphulwa okucacile kwemigomo ye-GPL, njengoba imfuneko yokukhokha imali ingabonakala njengokubeka imingcele eyengeziwe kumalungelo anikezwe ilayisense ye-GPL. Umbhalo we-GPL usho ngokucacile ukuthi akwamukelekile ukukhokhisa izimali zelayisense kanye nezinzuzo ngokusebenzisa amalungelo ilayisense esivele iwanikezile. I-Red Hat izame ukubekela omunye umkhawulo futhi ngaleyo ndlela yephula i-GPL.
Esimweni sesibili, i-Red Hat yethula imfuneko ezweni lokusayina isivumelwano esengeziwe uma ikhasimende lehlise inani lamasistimu nge-RHEL kunkontileka yesevisi. Isivumelwano besidinga ukuthi inhlangano isuse noma imaphi amakhophi engeziwe e-RHEL ngale kwalezo ezibalulwe esivumelwaneni esisha. Le mfuneko yephule imigomo ye-GPL mayelana nokungavunyelwa kwemikhawulo yesikhathi esizayo kanye namalungelo anikezwe ilayisense okwenza noma iyiphi inombolo yamakhophi ohlelo. Umhlinzeki akakwazi ukudinga ukuthi kususwe amakhophi athengwe ngokusemthethweni esofthiwe enelayisensi ye-GPL.
Abamele inhlangano ye-SFC abafaki ngaphandle ukuthi amacala ashiwo ayisiphukuphuku kuphela nokuthi amakhasimende angase ahlangabezane nokunye ukuhlukumeza kwe-Red Hat, okungase kubeke izimo ezengeziwe, ukusizakala ngokungazi kwamakhasimende ama-nuances emodeli yebhizinisi kanye namalungelo ahlinzekwa yi-GPL.
Ekugcineni, uma unentshisekelo yokwazi kabanzi ngakho, ungaxhumana nemininingwane Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
