Umbutho wamalungelo oluntu weSoftware Freedom Conservancy (SFC) ubhengeze inkqubo entsha yeenkqubo zomthetho kunye neVizio, etyholwa ngokungaphumeleli ukuthobela iimfuno zelayisensi ye-GPL xa uhambisa i-firmware ye-smart TV esekelwe kwi-platform ye-SmartCast. Abameli be-SFC baphumelele ukubuyiswa kwetyala kwiNkundla yeSigqeba yase-US ukuya kwiNkundla yeSithili yaseCalifornia, ebaluleke kakhulu kwimbono yokuhlela i-GPL kungekuphela nje njengelungelo lokushicilela, kodwa kunye nobudlelwane bekhontrakthi.
Ngaphambili, iVizio iphumelele ukudluliselwa kwetyala kwiNkundla ye-Federal, egunyazisiweyo ukusombulula imiba enxulumene nokuphulwa kwelungelo lokushicilela. Ityala eliphantsi koqwalaselo liphawuleka ngokuba okokuqala kwimbali ayifakwanga egameni lomthathi-nxaxheba wophuhliso onamalungelo epropathi kwikhowudi, kodwa kwicala lomthengi ongakhange abonelelwe ngemibhalo yomthombo amacandelo asasazwa phantsi kwelayisensi ye-GPL. Ngokutshintsha ukuqwalaselwa kwe-GPL kwi-copyright, i-Vizio isekela ukukhusela kwayo ekuzameni ukubonisa ukuba abathengi abaxhamli kwaye abanalo ilungelo lokufakela amabango anjalo. Ezo. I-Vizio ifuna ukuchithwa kwetyala ngezizathu zokungalungi kwetyala, ngaphandle kokuchukumisa umngeni wezityholo zokuphulwa kwe-GPL.
Abameli bentlangano ye-SFC baqala kwinto yokuba i-GPL inezinto zekhontrakthi kunye nomthengi, lowo ilayisenisi inika amalungelo athile, ngumthathi-nxaxheba wayo kwaye unokufuna ukusetyenziswa kwamalungelo akhe ukufumana ikhowudi yemveliso ephuma kuyo. Isivumelwano seNkundla ye-Federal yokubuyisela ityala kwiNkundla yeSithili siqinisekisa ukuba kunokwenzeka ukusebenzisa umthetho wekhontrakthi kulwaphulo lwe-GPL (iinkqubo zokuphulwa kwe-copyright kwiinkundla ze-Federal, kunye nokuphulwa kwesivumelwano kwiinkundla zesithili).
UJaji uJosephine Stayton, owayephulaphule eli tyala, wenqaba ukulichitha ityala ngenxa yokuba ummangali wayengeyena umxhamli weenkqubo zokuphulwa kwelungelo lokushicilela, ekubeni ukusebenza kwesinyanzeliso sekhontrakthi eyongezelelweyo ephawulwe kwilayisensi ye-GPL yahlukile kumalungelo anikezelwe yi-copyright. imithetho. Isigwebo esibuyisela ityala kwinkundla yesithili saphawula ukuba i-GPL isebenza zombini njengelayisensi yokusebenzisa umsebenzi onelungelo lokushicilela kunye nesivumelwano sekhontrakthi.
Isimangalo esichasene neVizio safakwa ngo-2021 emva kweminyaka emithathu yokuzama ukunyanzelisa iimfuno zelayisensi ye-GPL ngoxolo. Iiphakheji ze-GPL ezifana ne-Linux kernel, U-Boot, Bash, gawk, GNU tar, glibc, FFmpeg, Bluez, BusyBox, Coreutils, glib, dnsmasq, DirectFB, libgcrypt kunye ne-systemd zichongiwe kwi-firmware yeVizio smart TVs, kodwa inkampani ayizange ibonelele ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba umsebenzisi acele iitekisi zemvelaphi ye-GPL-inxalenye ye-firmware, kwaye kwizinto zolwazi azizange zikhankanye ukusetyenziswa kwesofthiwe phantsi kweelayisensi ze-copyleft kunye namalungelo anikezelwe ngala mvume. Isimangalo asiboneleli ngembuyekezo yemali, umbutho we-SFC ucela kuphela inkundla ukuba ibophe i-Vizio ukuba ihambelane nemimiselo ye-GPL kwiimveliso zayo kwaye yazise abathengi malunga namalungelo anikezela iilayisensi ze-copyleft.
Umenzi osebenzisa ikhowudi enelayisensi ye-copyleft kwiimveliso zayo kufuneka anike ikhowudi yomthombo, kuquka ikhowudi yemisebenzi ephuma kuyo kunye nemiyalelo yokufakela, ukugcina inkululeko yesofthiwe. Ngaphandle kwezenzo ezinjalo, umsebenzisi ulahlekelwa ukulawula isofthiwe, akakwazi ukulungisa ngokuzimeleyo iimpazamo, ukongeza iimpawu ezintsha kunye nokususa ukusebenza okungadingekile. Kusenokufuneka wenze utshintsho ukukhusela ubumfihlo bakho, ukulungisa imiba ala ukuyilungisa uwedwa umenzi, kwaye wandise ubomi besixhobo emva kokuba siphelise inkxaso esemthethweni okanye siphelelwe ngamandla ukuze sikhuthaze ukuthengwa kwemodeli entsha.
