Isiqingatha sesibini sonyaka ophelileyo zakhutshwa iindaba I-PostgreSQL ibijongene nengxaki nomntu wesithathu owayezama ukuthatha iimpawu zeprojekthi ye "PostgreSQL Foundation".
Kwaye ngoku PGCAC (I-PostgreSQL Community Association yaseCanada), emele uluntu lwePostgreSQL kwaye isebenze egameni leqela eliphambili lePostgreSQL, ucele umbutho wePostgreSQL Foundation ukuba uzalisekise izithembiso zawo ngaphezulu kwaye udlulisele amalungelo kwiimpawu zorhwebo kunye namagama esizinda anxulumene nePostgreSQL.
Ewe, njengoko sitshilo, kuxeliwe ukuba ngoSeptemba 14, 2021, kusuku emva kokubhengezwa koluntu lwe ungquzulwano lwaqala ngenxa yokuba umbutho I-PostgreSQL Foundation ibhalise iimpawu zorhwebo "i-PostgreSQL" kunye "ne-PostgreSQL Community" e-Spain kwaye yacela ukubhaliswa kweempawu zorhwebo ezifanayo e-United States kunye ne-European Union, Abameli beQela lePostgreSQL Core likwazile ukufikelela kwisivumelwano nePostgreSQL Foundation.
I-PostgreSQL Foundation ichaze ukuba iya kuqalisa inkqubo yokudlulisa zonke iimpawu kunye nemimandla kwi-PGCAC ngaphandle kwentlawulo kwaye ngaphandle kweemeko.
Iinyanga ezi-7 zidlulile ukususela ngoko, kodwa isivumelwano sotshintshiselwano ngebrendi sihlala singahambelani. Umqobo yayiyinjongo yombutho we-PGCAC yokuhlawula iindleko ezenziwe ngexesha lokuzama ukucela umngeni kwizicelo zophawu lokuthengisa ezifakiweyo. I-PGCAC ayizange ifune imbuyiselo epheleleyo yemali yezomthetho, kodwa yacela ukubuyiselwa imali yenkcaso yokubhalisa uphawu lokuthengisa.
Umbutho I-PostgreSQL Foundation yalile ukuhlawula iindleko ezinjalo, echaza isigqibo sabo ngokuthi babenokuphetshwa ukuba iPGCAC izamile ukusombulula lo mba ngexesha lothethathethwano oluthe ngqo, ngaphandle kokubandakanya inkampani yamagqwetha.
Ngexesha lothethathethwano lwesivumelwano esiyidrafti, i-PostgreSQL Foundation yakhaba uninzi lwemimiselo yesisombululo sengxabano kwaye iphakamisa ukongeza eminye yemiqathango yayo, kodwa yaqhubeka ichaza ukuba iya kurhoxisa izicelo zophawu lwentengiso kuyo nayiphi na imeko, kungakhathaliseki ukuba kugqitywe ingxabano. Isivumelwano esisemthethweni.
Umcebisi wezomthetho wePGCAC uchithe iinyanga ezama ukufumana impendulo kwiPostgreSQL Foundation malunga nemigaqo yesivumelwano. Xa i-PostgreSQL Foundation iphendule, yalahla ininzi yemimiselo yesivumelwano kwaye yongeza inani lemimiselo eyongezelelweyo. Nangona kunjalo, i-PostgreSQL Foundation igcine ukuba iya kurhoxisa izicelo zentengiso kungakhathaliseki ukuba yintoni umphumo wesivumelwano esisemthethweni.
Njengecebo lokugqibela, ukulungiswa kwesivumelwano kuye kwamiswa, izicelo zentengiso zihlala zilindile, kwaye igqwetha le-PostgreSQL Foundation libonise ukuba umbutho wawungenamdla wokuzalisekisa isithembiso sangaphambili sokususa iimpawu zokuthengisa (mhlawumbi kwakuthetha ukungasusi iimpawu zokuthengisa ngaphambi kokusayina isivumelwano esisemthethweni).
Abameli bePGCAC babongoze iPostgreSQL Foundation ukuba igqibezele umsebenzi ukusombulula ingxabano kunye nokuzalisekisa izithembiso zokurhoxisa ukubhaliswa kweempawu zokuthengisa kunye nokudlulisa imimandla ukuvala lo mbandela kwaye ugxininise eminye imisebenzi yeprojekthi.
Khumbula ukuba umbutho wePGCAC waqonda izenzo zePostgreSQL Foundation njengenzame zokubamba iimpawu zeprojekthi. Kodwa imeko ayicacanga kangako, ngokutsho kombutho wePostgreSQL Foundation, yenza umdla woluntu, izama ukukhusela uphawu lwePostgreSQL ekusebenziseni ngokungafanelekanga kwaye iqinisekisa ukuba iimpawu zokuthengisa zilawulwa ngumbutho ozimeleyo ongenzi nzuzo ozimeleyo. ayilawulwa ziinkampani ezizimeleyo.
Umseki wePostgreSQL Foundation akazange anyanzelise ukuba kuqhubeke ubunini beempawu ifunyenwe kwaye iphakamise ukuyilwa kombutho omtsha, ozimeleyo ngokupheleleyo onokuthi ube ngumnini wayo yonke ipropathi yengqondo yeprojekthi ye-PostgreSQL kwaye idibanise i-asethi ehlukeneyo ngoku ephethwe yi-PGCAC, i-PEU (postgresql.eu) kunye nemibutho ye-PostgreSQL Foundation.
Ukongezelela, kwakucetywayo ukuba kwenziwe ibhunga lolawulo elisekelwe kwiqela eliphambili lePostgreSQL, kodwa libeke phantsi kolawulo lweNdibano Jikelele yesangqa esibanzi sabameli boluntu. Kwimo yayo yangoku, inxalenye yeempawu eziphethwe yiprojekthi ziyinxalenye ye-PGCAC yombutho eCanada, kwaye enye inxalenye yeyentlangano yaseYurophu iPEU, ngokutsho kwePostgreSQL Foundation, le mibutho iphinda imisebenzi yayo kwaye inolawulo opaque.
Gqibela ukuba unomdla wokwazi okungakumbi ngayo, ungazijonga iinkcukacha kwi ukulandela ikhonkco.
