Kwinyanga enye edluleyo iRothschild Patent Imaging LLC wafaka ityala lelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza ngokuchasene ne-GNOME Foundation ngokophulwa kwelungelo lomenzi kumphathi weefoto zikaShotwell.
I-Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC inikezele ngokuhlawula iSiseko se-GNOME isixa "kumanani amahlanu" ukulahla ityala kunye nelayisenisi uShotwell ukuba aqhubeke nokuphuhlisa.
I-GNOME ithi: “Ukuvumelana noku bekuya kuba lula yaye kuya kufuna imali encinane kakhulu, kodwa kuphosakele. Esi sivumelwano siyakuvumela le patent ukuba isetyenziswe njengesixhobo ngokuchasene nezinye iiprojekthi ezininzi. Siza kuma siqinile ngokuchasene nolu hlaselo lungenasiseko kungekuphela nje kwi-GNOME kunye neShotwell, kodwa kuyo yonke isoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo.
UMlawuli oLawulayo we-GNOME Foundation uNeil McGovern uyalele umcebisi wezomthetho eShearman & Sterling ukuba afake amaxwebhu amathathu enkundleni yaseCalifornia:
-
Okokuqala, isiphakamiso sokuchitha ityala ngokupheleleyo. I-GNOME ayamkeli ukuba le patent iyasebenza okanye iinkqubo zinako okanye kufuneka zinikwe ipatent ngolu hlobo. Ngoko ke iprojekthi ifuna ukuqiniseka ukuba le patent ayizukusetyenziswa ngokuchasene nabani na ongomnye.
-
Okwesibini, impendulo kwisikhalazo. Yala ukuba i-GNOME kufuneka iphendule lo mbuzo. Iprojekthi ifuna ukubonisa ukuba iShotwell kunye nesoftware yasimahla ngokubanzi ayichatshazelwa yile patent.
-
Okwesithathu, ukuphikisana. I-GNOME ifuna ukubonisa ukuba oku akunjalo nje, ukuze uRothschild aqonde ukuba baya kulwa nale nto.
I-GNOME iphinde yathi: "I-patent trolls, siya kulwa namatyala akho, siphumelele kwaye singasebenzi amalungelo akho omenzi."
Ukwenza oku, i-GNOME yacela uncedo kuluntu- "nceda uncede iSiseko se-GNOME siyenze icace into yokuba ii-patent troll soze zichasane nesoftware yasimahla ngokunikela INgxowa-mali yoKhuselo ye-GNOME yePatent Troll. Ukuba awukwazi, nceda usasaze iindaba malunga noku phakathi kwabahlobo bakho nakwimidiya yoluntu. inethiwekhi."
