Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, kwaziwa ngomyalezo othunyelwe ohlwini lokusabalalisa umphakathi lwe-OpenJDK, lapho uBruno Borges ovela eMicrosoft Management Management Division yeMicrosoft, amemezele khona lokho IMicrosoft isayine ngokusemthethweni isivumelwano sokusebenzisana ne-Oracle "Isivumelwano Sabahlanganyeli be-Oracle" futhi samukelwe emphakathini waseJava.
Lapho esigabeni sokuqala, ithimba lokuthuthukisa le-Microsoft Java kuhloswe ukuthi zikhawulelwe ekulungiseni izimbungulu nokwenza umsebenzi we-backport ukujoyina umphakathi futhi uvumelane nemithetho yentuthuko ye-OpenJDK. Iqembu Lobunjiniyela leJava le IMicrosoft isivele iqinisekisile ukuthi ihlanganyela namanye amaqembu namagatsha eMicrosoft asebenzisa iJava, kanye nabalingani kuhlelo lwezemvelo lweJava, kufaka phakathi i-Oracle, i-Azul Systems, iRed Hat, iPivotal, i-Intel, ne-SAP.
Isibonelo, iMicrosoft isivele ibonile ukuthi emphakathini we-OpenJDK, indlela enconyelwayo yokwazisa ngezinto ezintsha ukuqala uxoxe ngezinguquko ngaphambi kokukhishwa kwama-patches.
Khona-ke kuqinisekisile ukuzibophezela kweMicrosoft kuJava nokuthi iqembu linethemba lokuthi lizobuyisela okuthile emphakathini weJava. Iqembu ngeke ligcine ngokugqekeza ngesandla esinzima, noma kunjalo, lizoqala ngokulungiswa kwamaphutha okuncane nokunye okunjalo. ngakho-ke bangafunda ukuba "izakhamizi ezinhle ngaphakathi komphakathi we-OpenJDK."
Futhi yilokho sekuyisikhathi eside iMicrosoft isebenze ngokubambisana ne-Oracle ukubamba iqhaza ekuthuthukiseni i-Java ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-JVM inikeza ukusebenza okwanele kuhlelo lwakho lokusebenza lwe-Windows.
Esikhathini esedlule, ukwamukelwa kweMicrosoft kweJava kusuka kude kusukela ngawo-1990s, lapho umakhi weJava uSun Microsystems emangalela iMicrosoft ngokwephula isivumelwano.
Isolezwe lisola ukuthi iMicrosoft isabalalise uhlobo lweJava olungahambelani neleSun, nokuyinto efake isinqa esithembisweni seSun esithi "Bhala Kanye, Run Anywhere" seJava. IMicrosoft iphendule, impikiswano yaxazululwa ekuqaleni kuka-2001.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, iMicrosoft ibisungula imikhankaso emikhulu yokuqasha lapho main Inhloso bekuwukuheha ababengabasebenzi bakwa-Oracle ukuqinisa amaqembu abo okuthuthukisa amathuluzi. Lokhu kuholele ekwakhekeni kwamakhithi wokukhulisa weJava avumela abathuthukisi beJava ukuthi bahlanganyele nezinsizakalo zabo kungxenyekazi yabo ye-Azure Cloud.
Kepha nokho lesi yisikhathi sokuqala lapho i-giant ihlanganisa i-OpenJDK ngaphakathi kwemisebenzi yayo ukufaka isandla ngqo ekuthuthukisweni kweJava. UBorges uqobo ungunjiniyela wangaphambili we-Oracle. Wethule uMartijn Verburg njengomholi wethimba lobunjiniyela beJava elizosebenza nabanye ozakwethu ohlelweni lwezemvelo iJava.
UMartijn Verburg futhi uyi-CEO yeJClarity, umnikeli oholayo ku-AdoptOpenJDK etholwe yiMicrosoft ngo-Agasti kulo nyaka ukuthuthukisa ukuxhaswa kweJava ku-Azure. Ngakho-ke kungenzeka ihlale iyiqiniso ukwakheka futhi iqhubeke nokufaka isandla ezweni leJava, manje kuphela ngeMicrosoft ezinhlwini zayo.
Lokhu kuqaliswa kubhalwe ngaphakathi kwelayisense le-GNU GPL ngaphandle kwezixhumanisi, ngakho-ke ezinye zezinto zamafolda wesigaba seJava namawebhusayithi ziyaphothulwa kusuka kwimigomo yelayisense ukuze kubhekwe ngaphakathi kwenguqulo ebekiwe njenge-GNU.
UBruno Borges ukhombisa ukuthi, ekuqaleni, ama-Backports ngenkathi eqhubeka nokufunda nokubuka ukusetshenziswa nezinqubomgomo ezisebenza ku-OpenJDK, ngokwesibonelo, xoxa kuhlu lwamakheli ukuze kufinyelelwe esivumelwaneni ngaphambi kokubheka ukushicilela isichibi.
Ungafunda umyalezo wokuqala Kulesi sixhumanisi esilandelayo.
