Abaphuhlisi bangoku be-Netfilter kernel subsystem baye bathethathethana malunga no-Patrick McHardy, owayesakuba yinkokeli yeprojekthi ye-Netfilter, owathi iminyaka emininzi wakhanyela isoftware yasimahla kunye noluntu ngohlaselo olufana nolwe-blackmail kubaphuli-mthetho be-GPLv2 ukuze bafumane inzuzo. Ngo-2016, uMcHardy wasuswa kwiqela le-Netfilter lophuhliso oluphambili ngenxa yokuphulwa kwemigaqo yokuziphatha, kodwa waqhubeka efumana inzuzo ngokuba nekhowudi yakhe kwi-Linux kernel.
UMcHardy uthathe iimfuno ze-GPLv2 ukuya kwinqanaba elingenangqondo kwaye wafuna iimali ezinkulu zokuphulwa okuncinci kweenkampani ezisebenzisa i-Linux kernel kwiimveliso zazo, ngaphandle kokunika ixesha lokulungisa ukuphulwa kunye nokubeka iimeko ezihlekisayo. Umzekelo, ibifuna abavelisi be-smartphone ukuba bathumele amaphepha ashicilelweyo ekhowudi yokuhlaziywa kwe-firmware ye-OTA, okanye itolike ibinzana elithi "ufikelelo olulinganayo kwikhowudi" lithetha ukuba iiseva zekhowudi kufuneka zibonelele ngezantya zokukhuphela ezingekho ngaphantsi kweeseva zokukhuphela iindibano zokubini.
Eyona nto iphambili yoxinzelelo kwiinkqubo ezinjalo yayikukurhoxiswa kwangoko kwelayisenisi yomaphuli-mthetho ebonelelwe kwi-GPLv2, eyenze ukuba kube lula ukuphatha ukungathotyelwa kwe-GPLv2 njengokuphulwa kwesivumelwano, apho imbuyekezo yemali inokufunyanwa kwi-GPLv3. inkundla. Ukuchasana nobundlobongela obunjalo, obujongela phantsi isidima seLinux, abanye babaphuhlisi bekernel kunye neenkampani ezinekhowudi esetyenziswayo kwikernel bathathe inyathelo lokuhlengahlengisa imithetho yeGPLv30 malunga nokurhoxiswa kwelayisensi yekernel. Le migaqo yenza kube lula ukuphelisa iingxaki ezichongiweyo ngokupapashwa kwekhowudi kwiintsuku ezingama-XNUMX ukususela kumhla wokufumana isaziso, ukuba ukuphulwa kuchongiwe okokuqala. Kule meko, amalungelo kwilayisensi ye-GPL abuyiselwe kwaye ilayisenisi ayirhoxiswa ngokupheleleyo (isivumelwano sihlala sinjalo).
Kwakungenakwenzeka ukusombulula ingxabano noMcHardy ngoxolo kwaye wayeka ukunxibelelana emva kokugxothwa kwiqela eliphambili leNetfilter. Ngo-2020, amalungu eQela le-Netfilter Core aye enkundleni kwaye ngo-2021 afumana isivumelwano noMcHardy, esichazwa njengento ebophelelayo ngokusemthethweni kwaye ilawula naziphi na izenzo zokuthotyelwa komthetho ezinxulumene nekhowudi yeprojekthi ye-netfilter / iptables efakwe kwi-core okanye isasazwe njengezicelo ezahlukeneyo. kunye namathala eencwadi.
Ngaphantsi kwesivumelwano, zonke izigqibo ezinxulumene nokuphendula ukuphulwa kwe-GPL kunye nokunyanzeliswa kweemfuno zelayisensi ye-GPL kwikhowudi ye-Netfilter kufuneka zenziwe ngokudibeneyo. Isigqibo siya kuvunywa kuphela ukuba uninzi lwamalungu eQela eliPhambili elisebenzayo livotela. Isivumelwano asibandakanyi kuphela ukwaphulwa okutsha, kodwa sinokusetyenziswa nakwiinkqubo zangaphambili. Ngokwenza njalo, iProjekthi ye-Netfilter ayilahli imfuneko yokunyanzelisa i-GPL, kodwa iya kuhambelana nemigaqo egxininisekile ekusebenzeni ngokufanelekileyo kuluntu kunye nokuvumela ixesha lokulungisa ukuphulwa.
