I-Oracle ibheka kakubi isigqibo se-Red Hat kwaye iyasigxeka ngaphandle kokulinganisa amagama
ukusukela kwiiveki ezimbalwa ebesesichengeni, isigqibo nguMnqwazi oBomvu ukunqanda ukufikelela kwikhowudi yomthombo we-RHEL, kuba ivelise ukugxekwa okuninzi kwaye kwabaninzi kukutyikitya kwesigwebo sabo.
Wathi uthintelo "ithintela" abathengi ekwabelaneni kunye nokusabalalisa kwakhona ikhowudi yomthombo okanye uyisebenzise ukwenza usasazo lwamva, abathi abaninzi baphula iGPL.
Ngaphambi kwesigqibo I-Rocky Linux, i-AlmaLinux kunye ne-Oracle Linux benza izikhundla zabo zaziwe iintsuku ezimbalwa emva kokuba ingxelo Red Hat kwaye kwimeko ye-Oracle Linux, oku akuzange kulinganiswe kwaye kugxekwe kakhulu i-Red Hat, kuba iye yagxeka ubungakanani be-IBM (uMnikazi weHat ebomvu) izama ukuphelisa ukhuphiswano phakathi kokuhanjiswa kweLinux ukuze yandise inzuzo yayo. Ngokuqinisekileyo le yingxelo eyothusayo evela kwi-Oracle, eyaziwa ngokuba yinkampani yelayisensi yesoftware.
Kwaye kukuba kupapasho lwakhe, I-Oracle igxeka ngokucacileyo isigqibo se-Red Hat kunye ne-IBM, apho bathi "abangabemi abalungileyo bomthombo ovulekileyo", ukongeza apho ubhekisa kwisithuba seRed Hat apho wazama ukuthethelela isigqibo senkampani ngokuthi malunga nokuhlawula iinjineli zeRed Hat ngomsebenzi abawenzayo. yenza:
Nangona i-Oracle kunye ne-IBM zinezibonelelo ezihambelanayo zeLinux, sineembono ezahlukileyo kakhulu malunga noxanduva lwethu njengabalawuli besoftware yasimahla kunye nendlela yokusebenza phantsi kweGPLv2. I-Oracle ibisoloko isenza iOracle Linux binaries kunye nemithombo ifumaneke kubo bonke.
Asinazo izivumelwano zorhumo eziphazamisana namalungelo ababhalisi okusasaza kwakhona i-Oracle Linux. Ngokwahlukileyo, izivumelwano zorhumo ze-IBM zichaza ukuba uyaphula ukuba usebenzisa ezi nkonzo zorhumo ukusebenzisa amalungelo akho phantsi kwe-GPLv2. Kwaye ngoku, ukususela ngo-Juni 21, i-IBM ayisapapashi ikhowudi yomthombo we-RHEL.
Inika umdla. I-IBM ayifuni ukuqhubeka ikhupha ikhowudi yomthombo we-RHEL kuba kufuneka bahlawule iinjineli zabo? Oku kubonakala kungaqhelekanga, ngenxa yokuba i-Red Hat, njengenkampani ezimeleyo yomthombo ovulekileyo ophumeleleyo, yakhetha ukukhulula ikhowudi yomthombo we-RHEL kwaye ihlawule iinjineli zayo iminyaka emininzi ngaphambi kokuba i-Red Hat ifunyenwe yi-IBM ngo-2019 nge-$ 34 yebhiliyoni.
Okanye i-Oracle Ikhankanya iCentOS kwaye iphakamisa "uluhlu lwexhala" lweRed Hat ezama ukuthethelela ugcino lwekhowudi yomthombo we-RHEL. I-CentOS ibiye yasasazwa simahla ehambelana ne-RHEL kwaye ngoDisemba ka-2020, i-IBM yayisusa ngokufanelekileyo njengenye indlela yasimahla kwi-RHEL, apho kwavela khona iindlela ezimbini ezintsha ze-RHEL endaweni ye-CentOS: i-AlmaLinux kunye ne-Rocky Linux, kwaye ngoku ngokubamba i-RHEL. ikhowudi yomthombo, i-IBM iye yabahlasela ngokuthe ngqo.
Ngokuphathelele i-Oracle, siya kuqhubeka nokulandela injongo yethu yeLinux ngeyona ndlela icacileyo nevulelekileyo ebesisoloko siyenza, ngelixa sinciphisa ukuqhekeka.
Siza kuqhubeka nokuphuhlisa nokuvavanya iimveliso zethu zesoftware kwiOracle Linux. I-Oracle Linux iya kuqhubeka nokuxhasa i-RHEL kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Ngaphambili, ukufikelela kwe-Oracle kwimithombo ye-RHEL epapashiweyo kuye kwabaluleka ekugcineni oku kuhambelana. Ngokwembono esebenzayo, sikholelwa ukuba i-Oracle Linux iya kuhlala ixhaswa njengakuqala kude kube yinguqulelo 9.2, kodwa emva koko kunokubakho amathuba aphezulu okuba kwenzeke umcimbi wokuhambelana. Ukuba ukungahambelani kuchaphazela umthengi okanye i-ISV, i-Oracle iya kusebenza ukulungisa umba.
Le ngxelo yothusa abaninzi ekuhlaleni, ngokuba yi-Oracle egxeka i-Red Hat ngokuphelisa ukuhanjiswa kwamahhala kwekhowudi ye-RHEL kubantu abangewona abathengi. Ngaphantsi kwemigaqo ye-GPL, kwaye ngokutsho kwabanye abahlalutyi, i-Red Hat ifunwa kuphela ukubonelela ngekhowudi yomthombo kubathengi abahlawulayo abafumana iibhinari ze-RHEL. Ngoko ke, isigqibo se-Red Hat asiyi kuphula imimiselo ye-GPL.
Oracle wakhankanya nokuba uya kuqhubeka nokusasaza ikhowudi yomthombo wokusasazwa kwakhe Oracle Linux simahla kwaye uyenze ngasemva ihambelane ne-RHEL, ngaphandle kokuchaza ukuba uya kuzifumana njani iifonti kwixesha elizayo.
Okokugqibela, ukuba unomdla wokwazi okungakumbi ngayo, unokujonga kwiinkcukacha Kule khonkco ilandelayo.
