Ezangoku Abaphuhlisi be-Netfilter kernel subsystem bamangalela ukuzinza noPatrick McHardy, owayesakuba yinkokeli yeprojekthi ye-Netfilter, eyathi iminyaka emininzi yatshitshisa isoftware yasimahla kunye noluntu ngokuhlaselwa kwabaphuli be-GPLv2, okufana ne-blackmail kwaye kwenziwa ngenjongo yokutyebisa umntu.
Kwi 2016, UMcHardy ususiwe kwiqela le-Netfilter elingundoqo lophuhliso ngenxa yokwaphulwa kwemigaqo yokuziphatha, kodwa usangenelwe kwinto yokuba ikhowudi yayo ikwi Linux kernel.
McHardy ityhale iimfuno ze-GPLv2 ukuya kwinqanaba lobubhanxa kunye nokwaphulwa okuncinci ziinkampani ezisebenzisa i-Linux kernel kwiimveliso zabo, zicele iimali ezinkulu (ukuya kuthi ga kwi-1,8 yezigidi zee-euro), ngaphandle kokunika ixesha lokuphelisa ukunyhashwa nokunikezela ngeemeko ezihlekisayo.
Umzekelo, ibifuna abavelisi be-smartphone ukuba bathumele amaphepha ashicilelweyo ekhowudi uhlaziyo lwe-firmware lwe-OTA luhanjiswe ngokuzenzekelayo, okanye litolikwe igama elithi "ufikelelo olulinganayo lwekhowudi" ukuthetha ukuba abancedisi bekhowudi banikezela ngesantya esisezantsi kunomncedisi wokukhuphela iiseti zokubini.
Olona ncedo luphambili kwiinkqubo ezinjalo ukurhoxiswa kwangoko kwelayisensi yomoni, ebonelelwe kwiGPLv2, evumela ukungathotyelwa kweGPLv2 ukuba kuthathwe njengokwaphulwa kwesivumelwano, apho imbuyekezo yemali inokufunyanwa enkundleni.
Iprojekthi ye-netfilter ibhengeza isivumelwano kunye noPatrick McHardy.
Esi sivumelwano sibophelela ngokusemthethweni kwaye silawula nasiphi na isicelo esisemthethweni imisebenzi enxulumene nazo zonke iinkqubo kunye namathala eencwadi enkqubo epapashwe ngu iprojekthi ye-netfilter/iptables kwiwebhusayithi yabo kunye neLinux Kernel.
Ukulwa nolu hlaselo, eye yajongela phantsi isidima seLinux, abanye abaphuhlisi ikernel kunye neenkampani ezinekhowudi esetyenziswa kwi kernel uthathe inyathelo lokuqala ukulungisa imithetho ye-GPLv3 kwi-kernel malunga nokurhoxiswa kwelayisensi.
Le mithetho ikuvumela ukuba uphelise imiba echongiweyo ngokukhutshwa kwekhowudi phakathi kweentsuku ezingama-30 ukususela kumhla wokufumana isaziso, ukuba ukuphulwa kufunyenwe okokuqala. Kule meko, amalungelo elayisensi ye-GPL abuyiselwe kwaye ilayisenisi ayirhoxiswa ngokupheleleyo (inkontileka ihlala injalo).
Esi sivumelwano simisela nasiphi na isigqibo malunga Imisebenzi yokuthotyelwa enxulumene ne-Netfilter kufuneka isekelwe kwisininzi ivoti. Ngoko ke, ilungu ngalinye leqela engundoqo esebenzayo [5] ngexesha le isicelo sokubulawa sinelungelo lokuvota. Esi sivumelwano sibandakanya umsebenzi odlulileyo kunye nomtsha, kunye nokuzaliseka kwezibophelelo
Kwakungenakwenzeka ukusombulula ngoxolo ingxabano noMcHardy kwaye wayeka ukunxibelelana emva kokukhatyelwa ngaphandle kweqela eliphambili leNetfilter. Ngo-2020, amalungu eQela le-Netfilter Core aye kwiinkundla zaseJamani kwaye ngo-2021 bafikelela kwisivumelwano noMcHardy esichazwa njengento ebophelelayo ngokusemthethweni kwaye ilawula naziphi na izenzo zokuthotyelwa komthetho ezinxulumene nekhowudi yeprojekthi ye-netfilter / iptables ebandakanyiwe kwisiseko okanye isasazwe njengomntu ngamnye. izicelo kunye namathala eencwadi.
Ngaphantsi kwesivumelwano, zonke izigqibo ezinxulumene nokuphendula ukuphulwa kwe-GPL kunye nokuthobela iimfuno zelayisensi ye-GPL kwikhowudi ye-Netfilter kufuneka zenziwe ngokubambisana.
Iprojekthi ye-netfilter iyaqhubeka nokuxhasa “Imigaqo ye "Ukuthotyelwa kweGPL kuluntu." Ngoko ke, esi sivumelwano bangabakhululi abantu besithathu kwiimbophelelo zabo zokuthobela ilayisenisi ukuya phambili.
Isigqibo siya kuvunywa kuphela ukuba uninzi lwamalungu asebenzayo eQela eliPhambili livotela inkxaso. Isivumelwano asibandakanyi kuphela ukwaphulwa okutsha, kodwa sinokusebenza nakwiinkqubo zangaphambili. Ngokwenza njalo, iprojekthi ye-Netfilter ayilahli isidingo sokunyanzelisa i-GPL, kodwa endaweni yoko iya kuhambelana nemigaqo-nkqubo yezenzo zomdla woluntu kunye nokunikezelwa kwexesha lokuphelisa ukuphulwa.
Gqibela ukuba unomdla wokwazi okungakumbi ngayo, ungazijonga iinkcukacha kwi ukulandela ikhonkco.
