An gama cinikin. Oracle yanzu yana da Rana. Saƙon Oracle ga abokan cinikin Sun alama da alama "Kada ku damu, ku yi farin ciki." Wannan ba sauki bane lokacin da Oracle ba zai iya yin bayani dalla-dalla game da abin da zai yi da kayan masarufi na buɗe-tushen kamar MySQL, OpenOffice, da OpenSolaris. |
Gabaɗaya, mun san cewa kundin kundin kayan aikin software na Sun zai ragu kuma ba da daɗewa ba za'a kori yawancin Sun ma'aikata. A tarihi, lokacin da Oracle ya sami kamfani, yankewa mai zurfi shine ƙa'ida. Misali, Oracle ya kori ma'aikata kusan 5.000 bayan sayayyar MutaneSoft. A wannan lokacin, Oracle ya sanar da shi cewa kawai za a dakatar da dubu ne kawai. Musamman, kodayake babu wanda ya faɗi hakan "a kan faifan," ana tsoron cewa sassan "buɗe-tushe" a cikin Rana sune waɗanda ke ɗaukar nauyin waɗannan yankan.
Har zuwa yanzu, babu wani daga Oracle da yake son yin maganganun "hukuma" game da abin da zai faru da software ɗin "tushen-buɗe" na Sun. Mun san cewa aƙalla ƙaramin ƙaramin aikin buɗe ido, aikin Wonderland, wani dandamali ne na Java don haɓaka 3-D duniyoyin duniya, an daina aiki. Bugu da kari, Oracle zai rufe aikin Kenai, wani shafin tallatawa na kyauta da kuma buda shirye-shirye.
Idan ya zo ga buɗe lambar don manyan ayyuka, bayan magana da mutane kusa da Oracle, babu wanda a Sun san abin da Oracle ke tunani, kuma Oracle bai ma ce "mu."
Wanda ya kirkiro MySQL Monty 'Michael' Widenius shine jagora a kan sayen Oracle na Sun. Adawarsa ga yarjejeniyar bai yi nasara ba, amma ta hanyar sanya Hukumar Tarayyar Turai ta sa ido sosai a kan Oracle da tsare-tsaren MySQL na, ina tsammanin cewa, a cikin ɗan gajeren lokaci aƙalla, Widenius da abokansa sun tabbatar da cewa MySQL zai ɓace. a ƙarƙashin sauran kayan sadarwar kayan software, kuma Oracle ya riƙe su. Attentionan mai da hankali sosai yanzu yana kan MySQL don Oracle don ƙoƙarin kashe shi.
A kowane hali, tun kafin yarjejeniyar ta faru, Widenius ya kirkiro tushen buɗe asusun MySQL, MariaDB. Don haka ba tare da yin la'akari da abin da Oracle ya ƙare tare da MySQL ba, lambar lambar MySQL za ta ci gaba.
OpenOffice ya bayyana shine amintaccen manyan ayyukan buɗe tushen Sun. Oracle ba shi da wasu kayayyakin gasa tare da OpenOffice a cikin layin software da yake da shi, kuma kamfanin ya ce zai ci gaba da tallafawa OpenOffice. Tambayoyin a nan suna da gaske a cikin cikakkun bayanai. Mun san cewa Oracle yana shirin bayar da SaaS (software a matsayin sabis), sigar OpenOffice a cikin gajimare, amma ba mu san lokacin da yadda za mu gan shi ba. A halin yanzu, akwai sabon sigar OpenOffice, sigar 3.2, don zazzagewa.
OpenSolaris, a gefe guda, yana da makoma mafi duhu. Yayin da Oracle ya ce za a ci gaba da tallafawa Solaris, da wuya aka ce uffan game da OpenSolaris.
Bai taimaka komai ba cewa Oracle yana amfani da Linux don adana OpenSolaris. Kodayake ba a san shi ba a waje da da'irar kasuwanci, Oracle kuma mai rarraba Linux ne. Oracle ya kirkiro Linux mara nauyi, wanda ya hada da Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), kuma ya rarraba shi ga abokan cinikinsa tare da zaɓin da aka biya don tallafin fasaha, da kuma duniya gaba ɗaya azaman rarraba Linux mara tallafi.
Duk da haka dai, ina da tabbacin cewa yayin da Solaris SPARC zai ci gaba, OpenSolaris na x86 zai ɓace. Abin da nake tsammanin Oracle zai ƙare, kamar yadda Oracle shine babban mai ba da gudummawa ga kernel na Linux, yana ɗaukar wasu lambar OpenSolaris kuma yana haɗa shi da Linux.
Idan OpenSolaris, a matsayin tsarin aiki mai zaman kansa, yana da damar rayuwa, ina tsammanin babban yiwuwar kawai shine cokali mai yatsa wanda ƙungiyoyi masu zaman kansu masu ci gaba ke kulawa. Yana da wahala ga Oracle ya ba da ainihin albarkatu ga OpenSolaris. Yi haƙuri mutane.
