I-GNOME Ithatha Isinyathelo Ukubhekana Nokuhlasela Kwe-Patent Troll

I-GNOME Foundation utshelwe mayelana nezinyathelo ezithathiwe ukuvikela icala, ebekwe phambili yi-Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC, ehamba phambili umsebenzi i-patent troll. I-Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC ithembise ukusula icala ukuze ithenge ilayisense yokusebenzisa ilungelo lobunikazi kwaShotwell. Inani lelayisensi livezwa ngenombolo enezinombolo ezinhlanu. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi ukuthenga ilayisensi kungaba indlela elula yokuphuma, futhi izinyathelo zomthetho zizodinga izindleko eziningi kanye nokuhlupheka, i-GNOME Foundation yanquma ukungavumelani nesivumelwano futhi ilwe kuze kube sekugcineni.

Imvume izobeka engcupheni amanye amaphrojekthi omthombo ovulekile okungenzeka abe izisulu ze-patent troll. Inqobo nje uma ilungelo lobunikazi elisetshenziswe emacaleni, elimboza amasu okukhohlisa asobala nasetshenziswa kabanzi, lihlala lisebenza, lingasetshenziswa njengesikhali sokwenza okunye ukuhlasela. Ukuxhasa ngezimali ukuvikela i-GNOME enkantolo nokwenza umsebenzi wokuvala ilungelo lobunikazi (ngokwesibonelo, ngokufakazela amaqiniso okusetshenziswa kwangaphambilini kobuchwepheshe obuchazwe kulungelo lobunikazi), isikhwama esikhethekile “Isikhwama Sokuvikela se-GNOME Patent Troll".

Inkampani iqashelwe ukuvikela i-GNOME Foundation U-Shearman no-Sterling, osekuvele kuthunyelwe amaphepha amathathu enkantolo:

• Isiphakamiso sokuhoxiswa ngokuphelele kwecala. Abavikeli bakholelwa ukuthi ilungelo lobunikazi elihilelekile ecaleni alinamali, futhi ubuchwepheshe obuchazwe kulo abusebenzi ekuvikelweni kwempahla yengqondo ku-software;
• Impendulo ecaleni elibuza ukuthi ngabe i-GNOME kufanele ibe ummangalelwa kulawo macala. Idokhumenti izama ukufakazela ukuthi ilungelo lobunikazi elibalulwe ecaleni alikwazi ukusetshenziselwa ukwenza izimangalo ngokumelene noShotwell nanoma iyiphi enye isofthiwe yamahhala.
• Isimangalo esiphikisayo esizovimbela i-Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC ekubeni ihlehle futhi ikhethe isisulu esinenkani esincane esingasihlasela lapho ibona ubucayi benhloso ye-GNOME yokulwela ukungasebenzi kwelungelo lobunikazi.

Njengesikhumbuzo, i-GNOME Foundation kubaliwe ukwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi 9,936,086 ku-Shotwell Photo Manager. Ilungelo lobunikazi langonyaka ka-2008 futhi lichaza indlela yokuxhuma ngokungenantambo idivayisi yokuthwebula isithombe (ifoni, ikhamera yewebhu) kudivayisi yokwamukela isithombe (ikhompyutha) bese idlulisa ngokukhetha izithombe ezihlungiwe ngedethi, indawo kanye neminye imingcele. Ngokusho kommangali, ngokuphulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi kwanele ukuba nomsebenzi wokungenisa ovela kukhamera, ikhono lokuqoqa izithombe ngokuvumelana nezici ezithile futhi uthumele izithombe kumasayithi angaphandle (isibonelo, inethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu noma isevisi yesithombe).
