inhlangano (NGIYAZI), ukuvikela i-ecosystem ye-Linux ezimangalweni zelungelo lobunikazi, ukubamba iqhaza ekuvikeleni iphrojekthi ye-GNOME kusuka i-patent troll Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC. Engqungqutheleni eqhubeka kulezi zinsuku umqondisi we-OIN uthe inhlangano isivele ihlanganise ithimba labameli abazosesha ubufakazi bokusetshenziswa kwangaphambilini kobuchwepheshe obuchazwe kulungelo lobunikazi (I-Prior art), okuzosiza ukuzuza ukungasebenzi kwelungelo lobunikazi.
I-OIN ayikwazi ukusebenzisa i-patent pool eyakhelwe ukuvikela i-Linux ukuze ivikele i-GNOME, njengoba i-Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC iphethe impahla yengqondo kuphela, kodwa ayiwenzi imisebenzi yokuthuthukisa nokukhiqiza, i.e. Akwenzeki ukuthi alethe isimangalo esihlobene nokwephulwa kwemigomo yokusetshenziswa kwamalungelo obunikazi kunoma yimiphi imikhiqizo. I-Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC iyi-troll ye-patent yakudala, ephila ikakhulukazi ngokumangalela iziqalo ezincane nezinkampani ezingenazo izinsiza zesivivinyo eside futhi ezingakhokha kalula isinxephezelo. Eminyakeni engu-6 edlule, i-Rothschild Patent Imaging LLC ifake amacala anjalo angama-714.
Ngokusho komqondisi we-OIN, inhlangano ekuqaleni yayigxile ekudaleni indawo evikela i-Linux ekuziphatheni okunobutha kwezinkampani ezenza imisebenzi yokukhiqiza. Njengoba amaphrojekthi omthombo ovulekile adingeka kakhulu kuzo zonke izindawo, zimbalwa futhi ziyancipha izinkampani ezinjalo. Ngakho-ke, i-OIN manje isingakwazi futhi ukunaka ubungozi obuvela emsebenzini wezinkampani ezingafundi, okungukuthi ama-patent troll aphila kuphela ngokumangalelana nezimali zobukhosi. Esikhathini esizayo esiseduze, i-OIN futhi ihlose ukumemezela ubambiswano olusha nezinkampani ezimbili ezinkulu ezinolwazi lokulwa namalungelo obunikazi ahlulekile kanye nokwenza amalungelo obunikazi anjalo abe angasebenzi.
Njengesikhumbuzo, i-GNOME Foundation ukwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi ku-Shotwell Photo Manager. Ilungelo lobunikazi langonyaka ka-2008 futhi lichaza isu lokuxhuma ngokungenantambo idivayisi yokuthwebula isithombe (ifoni, ikhamera yewebhu) kudivayisi yokwamukela isithombe (ikhompyutha) bese idlulisa ngokukhetha izithombe ezihlungiwe ngedethi, indawo kanye namanye amapharamitha. 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).
Ummangali uthembise ukusula icala ukuze athenge ilayisense yokusebenzisa ilungelo lobunikazi, kodwa i-GNOME ayizange ivume isivumelwano futhi ukulwa kuze kube sekugcineni, njengoba imvume izobeka engcupheni amanye amaphrojekthi omthombo ovulekile okungenzeka abe yisisulu se-patent troll. Ukuxhasa ngezimali ukuvikela kwe-GNOME, kwasungulwa i-GNOME Patent Troll Defence Fund, esesivele ikhona 109 125 zamadola ku-XNUMX ayizinkulungwane ezidingekayo.
