ʻO Shopify, ka mea i hoʻomohala i kekahi o nā pūnaewele e-commerce nui loa no ka uku ʻana a me ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā kūʻai aku ma nā hale kūʻai brick-and-mortar a me nā hale kūʻai pūnaewele, ua hui pū me ka Open Invention Network (OIN), nāna e pale i ka Linux kaiaola mai nā koi patent. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka platform Shopify i ka Ruby on Rails framework a manaʻo ka ʻoihana i ka polokalamu open source kahi kumu nui o kāna ʻoihana. Ma ka hui pū ʻana me OIN, manaʻo ka ʻoihana e hōʻike i kāna kūpaʻa i ka hana hou a hāpai i ka pale ʻana i ka hoʻomāinoino patent e pili ana i nā ʻōnaehana Linux.
Ua ʻae nā lālā o OIN ʻaʻole e hōʻoia i nā koi patent a e ʻae wale lākou i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana patented i nā papahana e pili ana i ka kaiaola Linux. Aia nā lālā o OIN ma mua o 3300 mau hui, kaiāulu a me nā hui i pūlima i kahi ʻaelike laikini kaʻana like. Ma waena o nā mea nui o OIN, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi wai patent e pale ana iā Linux, ʻo ia nā hui e like me Google, IBM, NEC, Toyota, Renault, SUSE, Philips, Red Hat, Alibaba, HP, AT&T, Juniper, Facebook, Cisco, Casio, Huawei, Fujitsu, Sony a me Microsoft.
Loaʻa i nā hui e hōʻailona ana i ka ʻaelike ke komo i nā patent i mālama ʻia e OIN no ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kuleana ʻaʻole e ʻimi i nā koi kānāwai no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana i hoʻohana ʻia i ka kaiaola Linux. Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka hui pū ʻana me OIN, ua hoʻololi ʻo Microsoft i nā poʻe o OIN i ke kuleana e hoʻohana ma mua o 60 tausani o kāna mau patent, me ka hoʻohiki ʻole e hoʻohana iā lākou e kūʻē iā Linux a me nā polokalamu open source.
ʻO ka ʻaelike ma waena o nā poʻe hui OIN pili wale i nā ʻāpana o ka hāʻawi ʻana i hāʻule ma lalo o ka wehewehe o ka ʻōnaehana Linux ("Linux System"). Aia ka papa inoa i kēia manawa he 3393 pūʻolo, me ka Linux kernel, Android platform, KVM, Git, nginx, Apache Hadoop, CMake, PHP, Python, Ruby, Go, Lua, LLVM, OpenJDK, WebKit, KDE, GNOME, QEMU, Firefox, LibreOffice, Qt, systemd, X.Org, Wayland, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. Ma waho aʻe o nā kuleana hoʻomāinoino ʻole, no ka pale hou aku, ua hoʻokumu ʻo OIN i kahi wai patent, kahi i loaʻa nā patent pili Linux i kūʻai ʻia a hāʻawi ʻia e nā mea komo.
Aia i loko o ka loko patent o OIN ma mua o 1300 mau patent. Aia pū ʻo OIN i kahi pūʻulu o nā patent i loaʻa kekahi o nā ʻōlelo mua o nā ʻenehana no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā ʻike pūnaewele ikaika, i hōʻike mua i ka puka ʻana mai o nā ʻōnaehana e like me ASP mai Microsoft, JSP mai Sun/Oracle a me PHP. ʻO kekahi haʻawina koʻikoʻi ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana ma 2009 o 22 Microsoft patents i kūʻai mua ʻia i ka consortium AST ma ke ʻano he patent e uhi ana i nā huahana "open source". Loaʻa i nā poʻe o OIN ka manawa kūpono e hoʻohana i kēia mau patent me ka uku ʻole. Ua hōʻoia ʻia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka ʻaelike OIN e ka ʻōlelo hoʻoholo a ka US Department of Justice, kahi i koi ʻia e mālama ʻia nā pono o OIN ma nā ʻōlelo o ke kālepa no ke kūʻai ʻana i nā palapala patent Novell.
