IFree Software Foundation inika iLibreOffice ivoti layo lokuzethemba

Evikini eledlule, I-Oracle ishiye i-OpenOffice bese uyiphendulela ku-Apache Software Foundation. Ngale ndlela, u-Oracle wagcwalisa isimemezelo esenziwe ngo-Ephreli lapho aphawula khona ukuthi uzobuyisela iphrojekthi kumphakathi wonjiniyela ngemuva kokuba "eyilimaze kakhulu" futhi wacasula umphakathi ukuba unyathele, ukwakhiwa kweDocument Foundation kanye nokwakhiwa kwemfoloko : LibreOffice.

Ukuthi i-Apache yamukele i-OpenOffice, futhi yayifaka njengephrojekthi ku-incubator yayo, bekungahlekisi kakhulu kweminye imikhakha yohlelo lwamahhala lwesoftware, ngokwesibonelo, iFree Software Foundation, ushicilele incwadi lapho ezwakalisa khona ukweseka kwakhe i-LibreOffice, ngoba isatshalaliswa ngelayisensi yamahhala ngokuphelele ye-GPL futhi i-OpenOffice ngokuqinisekile izoba nelayisense le-Apache, elingaqinisekisi ukufinyelela okugcwele kwekhodi yomthombo.

Encwadini yayo, i-FSF ibona i-OpenOffice njengocezu olubalulekile ngaphakathi kohlelo lwamahhala lwesoftware futhi, le nhlangano, izosho inkululeko enkulu kubathuthukisi abazokwazi ukulawula kakhulu ukuvela kwephrojekthi, kepha iqiniso lokusatshalaliswa ngaphansi kwelayisense le-Apache kwandisa ubungozi bokuthi othile angayisabalalisa ngokuhweba:

Yonke imisebenzi ye-Apache isatshalaliswa ngaphansi kwemigomo ye- Ilayisense le-Apache. Leli ilayisense le-software lamahhala elingeyona i-copyleft, ngakho-ke noma ngubani othola leyo software angalisabalalisa kabusha ngaphansi kwemigomo yokuhweba. Lelisu, elizungeze amalayisense, limele ushintsho olukhulu lwenqubomgomo ye-OpenOffice. Phambilini le phrojekthi ibisatshalaliswa ngaphansi Ilayisense ye-LGPL futhi ngaphansi kwelayisense evela kuMozilla, i- Ilayisense Yomphakathi yaseMozilla (MPL).

Ngokwe-FSF, bobabili i-LGPL ne-MPL babevumela i-copyleft kodwa babenogibe lwabo, ngoba ikhodi yomthombo yashicilelwa futhi yavunyelwa ukuyiguqula, kepha ayidingi ukuthi ukuguqulwa kusatshalaliswe ngendlela efanayo. Eqinisweni, yize kunezimo lapho i-FSF ikholelwa ukuthi ilayisense le-Apache lanele, abacabangi ngokufanayo ngecala le-OpenOffice, ikakhulukazi ngoba uhlelo lokusebenza olujwayele ukusetshenziswa futhi, ngaphansi kwesambulela se-Apache, kungenziwa Imikhiqizo yezohwebo. Kungakho i-FSF ikholelwa ukuthi iLibreOffice, namuhla, iyindlela engcono kakhulu:

Ngenhlanhla, kukhona okunye okuvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi basebenze ne-suite yehhovisi evikela nenkululeko yabo: i-LibreOffice. Noma ngubani okhululekile ukusebenza ne-OpenOffice uzothola ku-LibreOffice isikhombimsebenzisi esifanayo nokusebenza okufanayo, ngoba kusekelwe kukhodi efanayo yomthombo. Kusukela ngoSepthemba 2010, abantu abaningi banikele ngomsebenzi wabo wokwenza ngcono isicelo futhi umgqugquzeli wephrojekthi, iDocument Foundation, uzogcina ukusatshalaliswa kwayo ngaphansi kwamalayisense e-LGPL ne-MPL.

Kungakhathalekile ukuthi kunikezwa amalayisense, kuyacaca ukuthi namuhla i-LibreOffice iyindlela engcono kakhulu, ngoba yiyona kuphela enomphakathi osebenzayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukufika kwenguqulo 3.4.2 ngo-Agasti kuzothatha indawo yomkhiqizo osebenza ngokugcwele, lapho ezinye izimbungulu ezibalulekile zisusiwe. Futhi, ngenxa yekhodi entsha, izinhlelo zokusebenza zizosebenza ngokushesha njengoba ezinye izixhomekeki zisusiwe kuJava ebezibabambezela. Iphakethe lokugcina lizohlala ku-30 ​​MB kuphela, inani elibonakala lingaphansi kwalelo le-suite ye-OpenOffice engaziwa futhi lisinda kakhulu kune-Microsoft Office.

Ucabangani ngalezi zitatimende ezivela ku-FSF? Ngabe i-LibreOffice indlela okufanele ihambe ngayo emkhakheni wehhovisi lamahhala lokuzenzakalela?
