Umbutho we Inethiwekhi evulekileyo yokuSungula (I-OIN), Inikezelwe ekukhuseleni i-ecosystem yeLinux, iya kuthatha inxaxheba ekukhuseleni iprojekthi yeGnomeOku kungenxa yesimangalo awasifumana kwilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza iRothschild Patent Imaging LLC. Kwingqungquthela yaseYurophu yoMthombo ovulekileyo kwezi ntsuku, umlawuli we-OIN uthe umbutho sele uqokelele iqela lamagqwetha ukuba bazokuphanda iinyani zokusetyenziswa kobuchwepheshe obuchazwe kwilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, ezinokunceda ekungasebenzi kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi.
IRothschild Patent Imaging LLC yitroll patent yeklasikhi leyo uhlala ikakhulu kumabango amashishini amancinci kunye neenkampani ukunqongophala kwezixhobo zetyala elide kwaye kulula kubo ukuhlawula imbuyekezo. Kule minyaka mithandathu idlulileyo, iRothschild Patent Imaging LLC ifake ama-6 amabango anje.
IGnome Foundation ihlawuliswe ulwaphulo-mthetho lwe-patent 9,936,086 kumphathi wezithombe zeShotwell. I-patent ibhalwe ngo-2008 kwaye ichaza ubuchwephesha bokunxibelelana ngaphandle kwefowuni isixhobo sokufaka umfanekiso (ifowuni, ikhamera yewebhu) kwisixhobo esifumana umfanekiso (ikhompyuter) emva koko ukhethe imifanekiso ngokuhluza ngomhla, indawo, kunye nezinye iiparameter.
URothschild Patent Imaging LLC, uphikisa ukuba Ulwaphulo lwe-patent lwenziwa kuphela ngokuba nomsebenzi wokungenisa usuka kwikhamera, ukukwazi ukuhlanganisa imifanekiso ngokwemiqathango ethile kwaye uthumele imifanekiso kwiindawo zangaphandle (umzekelo, kwinethiwekhi yoluntu okanye inkonzo yokufota).
Emva kokufumana ibango, Isiseko seGnome asihlali phantsi kwaye ndiyabhengeza ukuba andizukunikezela kule troll yamalungelo awodwa abenzi kwaye ndiza kulwa kude kube ngumzuzu wokugqibela ukuze ndenze le patent isebenze
Emveni kwalonto, Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC Isindululo seGnome Foundation Ukuwisa ityala ngokutshintshela ukuthengwa kwelayisenisi yokusebenzisa ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, kodwa iGnome ayisamkelanga isivumelwano kwaye yagqiba kwelokuba ilwe kude kube sekupheleni, njengoko isabelo sasizakubeka emngciphekweni ezinye iiprojekthi ezivulekileyo ezinokuba ngamaxhoba etroli patent.
Kungenxa yoko le nto isiseko IGnome icele uncedo loluntu ukuxhasa ngezemali ngokhuseleko ye-Gnome kwaye iseke iNgxowa-mali yoKhuselo ye-Gnome Patent Troll, esele inyuse i-109 lamawaka eedola kwi-125 lamawaka efunekayo kwaye sele ithumele umyalezo ngayo:
“Ingxowa mali ezinikele kumlo ochasene ne Patent Troll iwele i $ 100,000. Umchasi wethu uyoyika. Masibenze babile ngakumbi. Imirhumo yezemali yenziwa nge-avareji yemizuzu eli-15 emva kwesithembiso.
Sifuna ukubulela wonke umntu ngobubele nesisa sabo. Sinombulelo kuba ukulwa nabangcungcuthekisi yinto esinokuthi sonke siyixabise kwaye simanyane nayo. Masiqhubeke sibabonisa ukuba uhlaselo lomnye wethu kukuhlaselwa kwethu sonke kwaye sibeke umzekelo.
Ayinyanzelekanga nje ukuba ibambe umlo welungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza, kodwa sizokulwa kwaye sihoxise amalungelo abo abenzi ukuba sinakho.
Kulapho kungena khona i-OIN, ebonelele ukunceda isiseko seGnome, nangona inemida ethile kuba ayinakusebenzisa iseti yamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza enzelwe ukukhusela iLinux ukukhusela iGnome, kuba iRothschild Patent Imaging LLC yeyakho kuphela ipropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda, kodwa ayiyenzi imisebenzi yophuhliso kunye nemveliso, Oko kukuthi, ayinakumangalelwa ngokwaphula umthetho imigaqo yokusetyenziswa kwamalungelo awodwa omenzi kuyo nayiphi na imveliso.
Ngokutsho komlawuli we i-OIN, umbutho uqale wagxila ekudaleni iimeko ezikhusela iLinux Ukuziphatha okungathandekiyo kweenkampani ezenza imveliso.
Kuba iiprojekthi ezivulekileyo sele zithandwa kakhulu kuyo yonke imimandla, ezo nkampani ziphantsi kwaye zincinci. Ke ngoko, ngoku i-OIN inokujonga umngcipheko ovelayo njengesiphumo senkampani (iitroll patent) ezihlala kuphela ngokugwetywa nokuncitshiswa.
Kwixesha elizayo, I-OIN ikwanenjongo yokubhengeza ubuhlakani obutsha kunye neenkampani ezimbini ezinkulu ezinamava ngokuchasene nelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza. utshonile kwaye wenze ukuba loo malungelo abenzi angasebenzi.
