Kwiminyaka embalwa ngoku, iMicrosoft ibonakalise ukuzibophelela okuthile kwimithombo evulekileyo ngokusebenzisa iiprojekthi ezininzi kunye nezigqibo, kubandakanya inkqubo esezantsi yeLinux kwiWindows, iSQL Server kwiLinux, upapasho lomthombo ovulekileyo wesakhelo esikhulu. NET, njl.
URichard Stallman, umqalisi wentshukumo yesoftware yasimahla kunye neprojekthi yeGNU, wamenywa ukuba athethe kwikomkhulu lakwa-Microsoft ekuqaleni kwale nyanga. Olu lwazi luqinisekisiwe ngabaphathi beMicrosoft.
UMark Russinovich, i-CTO yeMicrosoft Azure, kwi-tweet wathi:
"Kwimeko yezinye iindaba zesoftware evulekileyo u-Richard Stallman undwendwele ikhampasi izolo wanika intetho kwi-Microsoft Research ...
Intetho kaRichard Stallman kwikhampasi yeMicrosoft. Ukuba isiphelo sehlabathi siza namhlanje, uyakusazi ukuba kutheni.
Abantu abaliqela babuza ukuba bekukho urekhodo na okanye umbhalo wentetho yakhe, kodwa. URichard Stallman uzame ukuphelisa intelekelelo ngokubhala iposti malunga noko akutshoyo ngeli thuba:
“Ngoku kuqhelekile ukuba nge-4 kaSeptemba 2019, ndenze intetho kwikhampasi kaMicrosoft eseRedmond. Ndamenywa ndaza ndamkelwa. Ingxelo yeli tyala ixhokonxe intelekelelo kunye namarhe.
Kukho abo bacinga ukuba uMicrosoft undimemile ukuba ndithethe ngethemba lokubaleka unobangela wesoftware yasimahla.
Kwixesha elidlulileyo, iMicrosoft yapapasha oko ikubiza ngokuba "ngumthombo ovulekileyo womthombo" ongakhange ube negalelo kwilizwe lasimahla. (Oko kuthetha okuninzi ngomehluko omkhulu phakathi komthombo ovulekileyo kunye nentshukumo yesoftware yasimahla.) Nangona kunjalo, ukuba iMicrosoft ifuna ukubuyela kulo mkhuba, bekungadingi kundimema.
Abanye bazama ukuchaza isigqibo sam sokuthetha apho njengesiqinisekiso sokuziphatha kukaMicrosoft okwangoku. Oku, ewe, akunangqondo. Ukwala kwam isoftware kaMicrosoft engahlawulelwayo iyaqhubeka, njengoko kunjalo nangokungamkelwa kwayo nayiphi na enye into engahlawulelwayo.
Ndicinga ukuba abanye abaphathi bakaMicrosoft bathatha imiba yokuziphatha kunye nesoftware ngokungathí sina.
Banokuba nomdla kwezinye zeengcebiso ezithile okanye izicelo endizingenisileyo. Ndiqale ngoluhlu lwezenzo ezinokunceda isoftware yoluntu yasimahla, kwaye iMicrosoft inokuphinda iphindwe kabini, ngaphambi kokuchaza ifilosofi yesoftware yasimahla ngendlela eqhelekileyo.
Ndicinga ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba iMicrosoft itshintshe ezinye izinto ngendlela eza kunceda umhlaba okhululekileyo ngendlela eyiyo, nokuba awusixhasi kwihlabathi liphela.
Into endinokuyithetha ngoku kukuba kufuneka sigwebe izenzo zeMicrosoft ezizayo ngohlobo lwazo kunye neziphumo zazo.
Eli phepha lichaza ezinye izinto ezinobutshaba athe uMicrosoft wazifumana. Asifanelanga ukubalibala, kodwa akufuneki sibambe inzondo ngezenzo ezaphela kwiminyaka eyadlulayo. Kuya kufuneka sigwebe iMicrosoft kwixa elizayo ngento eyenzileyo emva koko.
Ixesha liya kusibonisa ukuba iMicrosoft iyaqala ukwenza imisebenzi ebalulekileyo esinokugweba kakuhle ngayo. Masikukhuthaze oko ngazo zonke iindlela zononophelo.
Ukongeza, uRichard Stallman unike iingcebiso ezininzi kwiMicrosoft:
- Gcina iikhomputha zivuliwes (akukho "boot ekhuselekileyo" ethintela iinkqubo esinokuthi sizisebenzise). Isiqalo esikhuselekileyo sithetha ukuba umsebenzisi angakhankanya ukuba yeyiphi inkqubo enokuqhuba kwikhompyuter yabo.
- Ukukhuselwa kwesixhobo: akukho zingcango zangasemva kwisoftware yayo ebethelelwe ngaphakathi. Oku kusebenza kwiibhodi ezitshixwayo, iikhamera, iidiski, kunye nezinti zememori ze-USB kuba ziqulathe iikhompyuter ezifakwe kwangaphambili kunye nesoftware enokuthi ithathelwe indawo ngumsila wendalo jikelele. Abagculi benza oku ngokufaka i-malware, ethi ibe sisoyikiso esiqhubekayo. Ndingathetha ngaphezulu ukuba kukho imfuneko.
- Khuthaza ukusetyenziswa kweefayile kunye nekhowudi yethala leencwadi okanye inkqubo kunye nekhowudi yesixhobo.
- Ukuba iWebhu iyasebenziseka ngeJavascript ikhubazekile.
- Sebenzisa iqonga lokuthengisa kwi-Intanethi elingaziwayo elingafuni iJavaScript, usebenzisa i-GNU Taler (taler.net).
- Ukuvula ujongano lwezixhobo zeemveliso ezinje ngeHololens ukuze sikwazi ukuzisebenzisa ngaphandle kwesoftware engenasimahla. Nokuba isoftware yethu isemva ngeminyaka, kuya kuba ngcono kunokuba ungazisebenzisi ezi zixhobo.
Olunye uluvo, endilwenzileyo kwisekela mongameli kodwa mhlawumbi hayi kwintetho yam: Umthombo ovulekileyo ikhowudi yomthombo yeWindows phantsi kweGNU GPL.
