I-EULA (Windows) vs. I-GPL (Linux): i-duel yelayisense

Kuyamangaza ngempela ukuthi ilayisense yeWindows ikhawulela kangakanani. Kuyiqiniso, sonke siyayazi… sesivele siphethwe yiWindows ngesinye isikhathi. Kodwa-ke, bambalwa abame ukufunda ilayisense ehambisana nalokhu. Nakhu ukuhlaziywa okufushane kokunye okuvelele nokuqhathanisa okuthakazelisayo phakathi kwelayisense le-Win 7 nelayisense "yamahhala" ye-GPL.

Okulandelayo, uLuis Alejandro Martínez Faneyth, umbhali wokuqala wale ndatshana, ucaphuna lezo zingcaphuno ezivela kwiWindows 7 License yomsebenzisi (i-EULA - Isivumelwano Selayisense Lomsebenzisi Wokugcina), athe wayithatha njengesiteleka. Ungathola inguqulo ephelele yale layisense lapha.

Munye kuphela umsebenzisi ngasikhathi nabaprosesa abakhulu ababili

ISIQEPHU 2: UKUFAKA NOKUSEBENZISA AMALUNGELO
uku. Ikhophi elilodwa ngeThimba ngalinye. Ungafaka ikhophi eyodwa yesoftware kwikhompyutha eyodwa. Lelo qembu lizoba "iqembu elinamalayisense."
b. Izinsiza Ezinelayisense. Ungasebenzisa ngasikhathi sinye isoftware kuma-processor angafika kwamabili kukhompyutha enelayisense. Ngaphandle kwalapho kuhlinzekwe ngenye indlela kule migomo yelayisense, awunakusebenzisa isoftware kunoma iyiphi enye ikhompyutha.
c. Inani labasebenzisi. Ngaphandle kwalapho kuhlinzekelwe ngenye indlela kule migomo yelayisense, isoftware ayinakusetshenziswa ngabasebenzisi abangaphezu koyedwa ngasikhathi.
d. Izinhlobo ezihlukile. Isoftware ingafaka inguqulo engaphezu kweyodwa, ngokwesibonelo ama-32-bit no-64-bit. Ungafaka kuphela futhi usebenzise inguqulo eyodwa ngasikhathi.

IMicrosoft ingasebenzisa imininingwane yakho

ISIQEPHU 7: IZINSIZAKALO EZISEKELWE KU-INTERNET
b. Ukusetshenziswa Kwemininingwane. I-Microsoft ingasebenzisa imininingwane yekhompyutha, imininingwane ye-accelerator, imininingwane yethiphu yokusesha, imibiko yamaphutha, nemibiko yamakhodi ayingozi ukuthuthukisa isoftware nezinsizakalo ezinikezwayo. Singase futhi sabelane ngayo nabanye, njengabathengisi be-software nabakwa-hardware, abangase basebenzise imininingwane ukwenza ngcono ukuthi imikhiqizo yabo isebenza kanjani nesoftware ye-Microsoft.

Awukhokhi lutho

ISIQEPHU 8: UKUKHULA KWELAYISENISI
Isoftware inelayisense futhi ayithengiswa. Lesi sivumelwano sikunika amalungelo athile kuphela wokusebenzisa izici ezifakwe enguqulweni yesoftware enelayisense. IMicrosoft iwagcina wonke amanye amalungelo. Ngaphandle kokuthi umthetho osebenzayo ukukunikeza amalungelo amaningi ngaphandle kwalomkhawulo, ungasebenzisa isoftware njengoba kuvunyelwe ngokusobala kulesi sivumelwano. Ngokwenza njalo, kufanele uthobele imikhawulo yezobuchwepheshe yesoftware evumela kuphela ukuthi isetshenziswe ngezindlela ezithile. Ngeke ukwazi:

• ukweqa imikhawulo yezobuchwepheshe yesoftware;
• ukuhlehlisa unjiniyela, ukubola noma ukuqaqa isoftware, ngaphandle kwalapho kuphela kuvunyelwe ngokusobala ngumthetho osebenzayo ngaphandle kwalomkhawulo;
• sebenzisa izingxenye zesoftware ukusebenzisa izinhlelo ezingasebenzisi isoftware;
• enze amakhophi amaningi esoftware kunalawo ashiwo kulesi sivumelwano noma avunyelwe umthetho osebenzayo ngaphandle kwalokhu kubekelwa imingcele;
• yenza isoftware ibe sesidlangalaleni ukuze abanye bayikopishe;
• ukuqasha, ukuqasha noma ukubolekisa isoftware noma
• sebenzisa isoftware ukuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokubamba ama-software ezentengiso. 

Ukuqhathanisa nelayisense ye-Free Software

Izici eziyisisekelo ze-EULA

• Ayikwazi ukusetshenziswa njengeseva yewebhu noma iseva yefayela.
• Ukubhaliswa kuyadingeka ngemuva kwezinsuku ezingama-30.
• Kungase kuyeke ukusebenza uma kwenziwa izinguquko zehadiwe.
• Ukuvuselelwa kungashintsha i-EULA uma inkampani inquma kanjalo.
• Ingadluliselwa kumsebenzisi omusha kanye kuphela; Umsebenzisi omusha kufanele avume imigomo yokusetshenziswa (i-EULA).
• Ibeka ukulinganiselwa ekuvuseleleni kabusha okuphindayo

Izici eziyisisekelo zelayisense lamahhala le-GPL:

• Inkululeko yokukopisha, ukuguqula nokusabalalisa kabusha isoftware.
• Kuvimbela iqembu elilodwa noma ibhizinisi ekuvikeleni elinye iqembu noma ibhizinisi ekubeni nale nkululeko efanayo.
• Inikeza ukumbozwa kwamalungelo abasebenzisi ukukopisha, ukuguqula nokusabalalisa kabusha isoftware.
• Ingathengiswa uma umsebenzisi enquma kanjalo futhi izinsizakalo ezihlobene nesoftware leyo zingakhokhiswa. 
• Lonke ilungelo lobunikazi kufanele linikezwe ilayisense lokusetshenziswa kwawo wonke umuntu noma cha.
• Isoftware eshintshiwe akufanele iphathe imali yelayisense.
• Kumele inikezwe ngekhodi yomthombo.
• Uma kukhona ushintsho kwilayisense, imigomo ejwayelekile yelayisense ekhona iyagcinwa. 

Futhi wena, yimuphi ohlala naye?
