Bungwe loona za ufulu wa anthu la Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) lapereka mlandu wotsutsana ndi Vizio chifukwa cholephera kutsatira zofunikira za chilolezo cha GPL pogawa firmware kwa ma TV anzeru pogwiritsa ntchito nsanja ya SmartCast. Mlanduwu ndi wodziwika chifukwa ndi mlandu woyamba m'mbiri yomwe idaperekedwa osati m'malo mwa wochita nawo chitukuko yemwe ali ndi ufulu wa katundu ku code, koma ndi wogula yemwe sanapatsidwe gwero lachidziwitso cha zigawo zomwe zimagawidwa pansi pa chilolezo cha GPL.
Mukamagwiritsa ntchito code yolembedwa ndi copyleft muzogulitsa zake, wopangayo, kuti asunge ufulu wa pulogalamuyo, amakakamizika kupereka magwero, kuphatikiza kachidindo kantchito zotumphukira ndi malangizo oyika. Popanda kuchitapo kanthu, wogwiritsa ntchito amalephera kuwongolera pulogalamuyo ndipo sangathe kukonza zolakwika mwaokha, kuwonjezera zatsopano kapena kuchotsa magwiridwe antchito osafunika. Mungafunike kusintha zinthu kuti muteteze zinsinsi zanu, kukonza zovuta m'nyumba zomwe wopanga akukana kukonza, ndikuwonjezera moyo wa chipangizocho chitatha kuthandizidwa kapena kutha ntchito kuti mulimbikitse kugula kwachitsanzo chatsopano.
Poyambirira, bungwe la SFC lidayesetsa kuchita mgwirizano mwamtendere, koma zochita mwa kunyengerera ndi chidziwitso sizinadzilungamitse ndipo zinayamba kuchitika pamakampani opanga zida zapaintaneti ndikunyalanyaza zofunikira za GPL. Kuti atuluke mumkhalidwewu ndikupanga chitsanzo, adaganiza zogwiritsa ntchito malamulo okhwima kuti abweretse ophwanya malamulo ndikukonzekera chiwonetsero cham'modzi mwa ophwanya kwambiri.
Mlanduwu sumafuna chipukuta misozi, SFC imangopempha khoti kuti likakamize kampaniyo kuti igwirizane ndi zomwe GPL imapanga pazogulitsa zake ndikudziwitsa ogula za ufulu womwe zilolezo za copyleft zimapereka. Ngati zolakwazo zakonzedwa, zofunikira zonse zikukwaniritsidwa, ndipo kutsimikiza mtima kutsatira GPL kudzaperekedwa mtsogolomo, SFC yakonzeka kumaliza milanduyo nthawi yomweyo.
Vizio adadziwitsidwa koyamba za kuphwanya kwa GPL mu Ogasiti 2018. Kwa pafupifupi chaka chimodzi, zoyeserera zidapangidwa kuti zithetse kusamvanako mwaukadaulo, koma mu Januware 2020, kampaniyo idasiya zokambiranazo ndikusiya kuyankha makalata ochokera kwa oimira SFC. Mu Julayi 2021, njira yothandizira mtundu wa TV idamalizidwa, mu firmware yomwe zophwanya zidadziwika, koma oimira SFC adapeza kuti malingaliro a SFC sanaganizidwe ndipo mitundu yatsopano yazida imaphwanyanso mfundo za GPL.
Makamaka, zinthu za Vizio sizimapereka mwayi kwa wogwiritsa ntchito kuti apemphe gwero la magawo a GPL a firmware yotengera Linux kernel ndi malo omwe amapangidwa ndi GPL monga U-Boot, Bash, gawk, GNU tar, glibc, FFmpeg, Bluez, BusyBox, Coreutils, glib, dnsmasq, DirectFB, libgcrypt ndi systemd. Kuphatikiza apo, zidziwitsozo sizimatchulapo zakugwiritsa ntchito mapulogalamu omwe ali pansi pa ziphaso za copyleft ndi ufulu woperekedwa ndi zilolezozi.
Pankhani ya Vizio, kutsata GPL ndikofunikira makamaka chifukwa cha milandu yakale yomwe kampaniyo idaimbidwa mlandu wophwanya zinsinsi ndikutumiza zidziwitso za ogwiritsa ntchito pazida, kuphatikiza zambiri zamakanema ndi makanema apa TV omwe amawonera.
