Madivelopa apano a Netfilter kernel subsystem akambirana ndi a Patrick McHardy, mtsogoleri wakale wa projekiti ya Netfilter, yemwe kwa zaka zambiri adatsutsa mapulogalamu aulere komanso anthu ammudzi movutikira ngati akuphwanya GPLv2 kuti apindule. Mu 2016, McHardy adachotsedwa m'gulu lachitukuko cha Netfilter chifukwa chakuphwanya malamulo, koma adapitilizabe kupindula pokhala ndi code yake mu Linux kernel.
McHardy adatenga zofunikira za GPLv2 mpaka kukhala zopanda pake ndipo adafuna ndalama zambiri chifukwa chophwanya pang'ono ndi makampani omwe amagwiritsa ntchito kernel ya Linux muzogulitsa zawo, osapereka nthawi yokonza kuphwanya ndikukhazikitsa zinthu zopanda pake. Mwachitsanzo, zimafuna opanga mafoni a m'manja kuti atumize mapepala osindikizira a code kuti apeze zosintha za firmware za OTA, kapena kutanthauzira mawu oti "kulowa kofanana kwa code" kutanthauza kuti ma seva a code ayenera kupereka maulendo otsitsa osatsika kuposa ma seva otsitsira misonkhano ya binary.
Chiwopsezo chachikulu pamilandu yotere chinali kuthetsedwa kwa chilolezo cha wophwanya malamulo chomwe chinaperekedwa mu GPLv2, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti kusagwirizana ndi GPLv2 kuphwanya mgwirizano, komwe kukhoza kulipidwa kuchokera ku khoti. Pofuna kuthana ndi nkhanza zotere, zomwe zidawononga mbiri ya Linux, ena mwa opanga kernel ndi makampani omwe ma code awo amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu kernel adachitapo kanthu kuti asinthe malamulo a GPLv3 okhudza kuchotsedwa kwa laisensi pa kernel. Malamulowa amathandizira kuthetsa mavuto omwe amadziwika ndi kusindikizidwa kwa code mkati mwa masiku 30 kuyambira tsiku lolandira chidziwitso, ngati zophwanya zidadziwika kwa nthawi yoyamba. Pamenepa, ufulu wa chilolezo cha GPL umabwezeretsedwa ndipo chilolezo sichimachotsedwa kwathunthu (mgwirizano umakhalabe).
Sizinali zotheka kuthetsa mkangano ndi McHardy mwamtendere ndipo anasiya kulankhulana atachotsedwa mu gulu lalikulu la Netfilter. Mu 2020, mamembala a Netfilter Core Team adapita kukhothi ndipo mu 2021 adachita mgwirizano ndi McHardy, womwe umatanthawuza kuti umagwira ntchito mwalamulo ndipo umayang'anira zochitika zilizonse zokhudzana ndi malamulo a netfilter/iptables omwe akuphatikizidwa pachimake kapena kugawidwa ngati ntchito zosiyana. ndi malaibulale.
Pansi pa mgwirizanowu, zisankho zonse zokhudzana ndi kuyankha kuphwanya kwa GPL ndikukhazikitsa zofunikira za laisensi ya GPL mu Netfilter code ziyenera kupangidwa pamodzi. Lingaliro lidzavomerezedwa ngati ambiri mwa mamembala a Core Team avotera. Mgwirizanowu sumangokhudza kuphwanya kwatsopano, komanso ungagwiritsidwe ntchito pazokambirana zakale. Pochita izi, Netfilter Project sikusiya kufunika kokakamiza GPL, koma idzatsatira mfundo zomwe zimayang'ana pakuchita zinthu zokomera anthu ammudzi ndikulola nthawi yokonza zophwanya malamulo.
