Ekupheleni kwenyanga ephelileyo Sithetha apha kwibhlog iindaba malunga Inkxaso yenethiwekhi evulekileyo yokuqamba (I-OIN, umbutho okhusela i-ecosystem yeLinux ukusuka kumabango welungelo elilodwa lomenzi) kwisiseko seGnome kumcimbi ngoku ugcwalisa ngokuchasene neRothschild patent troll I-Patent Imaging LLC ehlala ikakhulu ngaphandle kwamabango amancinci amashishini kunye / okanye iswele izibonelelo zetyala elide kwaye ifumanisa kulula ukuhlawula imbuyekezo.
IRothschild Patent Imaging LLC Utyhola i-Gnome Foundation ngokuba nokophula ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza 9,936,086 kumphathi wezithombe zeShotwell. Ichaza ubuchule bokuqhagamshela ngaphandle kwamacingo isixhobo sokubamba umfanekiso (ifowuni, ikhamera yewebhu) kwisixhobo esifumana umfanekiso (ikhompyuter) emva koko ukhethe imifanekiso ngokuhluza ngomhla, indawo, kunye nezinye iiparameter.
Ukujongana nale ngxaki, i-OIN yasolula isandla sayo kwi-Gnome Foundation kwaye ngoku bakwinkqubo yokuzama ukwenza ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza.
Kwaye kutshanje I-OIN ibhengeze ukusekwa kweqela eline-IBM, iLinux Foundation kunye neMicrosoft ukukhusela isoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo kuhlaselo lwamalungelo obunini patent abangenazo iiasethi kwaye bahlala kuphela kumatyala abandakanya amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza.
Eli qela lisandul 'ukusekwa lenzelwe ukuxhasa iPatentes Unified Ukufumana iinyani zokusetyenziswa kwangaphambili okanye ukungasebenzi kwepatent kwisimangalo esihambelana neLinux kunye nesoftware evulekileyo.
Enkosi kwilinge le-OIN, IBM, iLinux Foundation kunye neMicrosoft, Amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza idale iqela leMithombo evulekileyo, eya kuthi ifunde amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kunye neetroll counter amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kwiindawo zesoftware evulelekileyo.
Ukukhuthaza uhlalutyo lobunikazi, Amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza anenkqubo yembuyekezo yokuchonga iinyani Ukusetyenziswa kwangaphambili kwetekhnoloji yokuthengisa. Ixabiso lomvuzo lifikelela kwi-10 yeedola (yokukhangela idatha kusetyenziso lwangaphambili lobunikazi olubonakala kwityala elichasene neGNOME, kunikezelwe umvuzo we-2,500 yeedola).
Ngokwedatha yombutho we-Unified Patents Ukusukela ngo-2018, ama-49 eepatent trolls aqalise iinkqubo, abatyholwa apho kufanelekileyo kuphuhliso lwesoftware evulelekileyo. Ukusukela ngo-2012, zingama-260 iinkqubo zomthetho zolu hlobo ezibhalisiweyo. Umzekelo wokuhlaselwa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza kwi-STR kukumangalelwa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza kunye neGNOME Foundation.
Amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kubandakanya iinkampani ezingaphezu kwama-200 ngokudibeneyo zizama ukulwa neetrolls amalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza kunye nesimangalo esimbaxa esinxulumene nelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, okwenza ukuba uhlaselo lwabo lubize kakhulu ngenxa yeendleko zomthetho.
I-Patentes Unifieds ayijolise ekuphumeleleni ityala, kodwa iyenza icace kwiitroli ukuba izokulwa kwaye ishiye umva emva komdla wamalungu ayo.
Nje ngeziphumo, ityala elinelungu eliManyeneyo lePatent linokubiza kakhulu kwi-troll kunokutsalwa ukuba i-troll inenjongo yokufumana (umzekelo, ukungqubana ngempumelelo kunokuhlala ukuya kwiinyanga ezi-6 kwaye kusongele iindleko zomthetho ukuya kuthi ga kwi-2 yezigidi zeedola). Umzekelo wakutshanje yinkqubo ephele ngo-Okthobha, apho ibango likaLyft laliwe kwaye i-troll yenze iindleko eziphezulu.
Ingxabano kunye trolls patent iyenza nzima into yokuba i-troll inepropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda, kodwa ayenzi imisebenzi yophuhliso kunye nemveliso, ngoko ke akunakwenzeka ukuba uphendule ngokuchasene nokuhambelana nokwaphulwa kwemiqathango yokusetyenziswa kwamalungelo abenzi kuyo nayiphi na imveliso, kwaye kuhlala kuphela ukuzama ukungqina ukungabinamali okusetyenzisiweyo isicelo selungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza.
Ukuba ufuna ukwazi ngakumbi ngayo ungadibana eli khonkco lilandelayo.
Okokugqibela, singathanda ukwazi uluvo lwakho malunga nohlobo lomsebenzi wolu hlobo lweenkampani okanye amaqela troll athanda ukuhlala namatyala okanye amabango "ekucingelwa" amalungelo okushicilela. Kuba alukho kuphela olu hlobo lweetroll ezikhoyo kwilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wesoftware kodwa zininzi kwezinye iindawo.
