Umongameli we I-FSF (Free Software Foundation), owaziwa kakhulu nguRichard Stallman, ikhiphe isinqumo ngelayisensi ye-Commons Clause futhi yasikhomba ngephutha maqondana negama (elishiwo kabi) ngoba lingadukisa, njengoba kungelona ilayisense lamahhala. Isigaba Somphakathi asithathwa njengesikhululekile yi-FSF ngoba ayihloniphi inkululeko emine edingekayo ukuze ibhekwe kanjalo.
Njengokwazi kwakho Isigaba somphakathi siyilayisense entsha (noma "isigatshana" esingasetshenziswa kwenye ilayisense ukuyiguqula) esiye savela ekuqaleni konyaka futhi senza abantu bakhulume (kodwa hhayi kahle, kodwa ngenxa yokuntuleka kwentshisekelo kuso). Manje uRichard Stallman ukubeke kwacaca ngenkathi ephendula imibuzo ethile engxenyeni ye-iTWire futhi udaba lwale layisensi seluvele. Empeleni, iTWire ixhumane nenkampani egunyaza ilayisensi ebizwa ngeFossa.io ukuthola ukungabi bikho kwezintshisekelo ezinhlanganweni ezahlulela ukuthi ngabe ilayisensi yomthombo ovulekile noma cha. UFossa.io akazange aphendule izicelo ze-iTWire, inkampani yenqabile ukuphendula imibuzo. Inkampani entsha engingakaze ngizwe okuningi ngayo futhi ebonakala sengathi iphethwe nguKevin Wang othile.Hhayi-ke, nokuvuselela inkumbulo yalabo abangazi, inkululeko ezine engibhekise kuzo yilezi: amandla ukwenza uhlelo nganoma iyiphi injongo, ukutadisha ukuthi lusebenza kanjani futhi luguqulwe kanjani, kusatshalaliswa amakhophi, futhi kuthuthukiswe uhlelo futhi kuthuthukiswe nokuthuthuka.
Futhi kubonakala sengathi kunjalo kungenzeki ukuthi isoftware engaphansi kweCommon Clause ingathengiswa noma usabalalise ngenhloso yezentengiselwano leyo ephikisana ne-GNU ukuze ibhekwe njengekhululekile. Kodwa-ke, ngibona inhloso yokuziphatha nokuziphatha kweCommon Clause, njengoba kuchaziwe ezinye izazi, futhi lokho ukuvimbela inkampani ekunotheni ngokuthengisa umkhiqizo noma insizakalo ngokusebenzisa ikhodi yomthombo eyenziwe ngokuzithandela ngomunye umuntu noma umphakathi. Lokho wukuthi, unjiniyela wenza umsebenzi abanye bazuze ngokuwusebenzisa… kuyiqiniso ukuthi lokhu akulungile futhi kwenziwe ngamaphrojekthi amaningi avulekile womthombo… bona i-Apple.
By indlela Ngiyacacisa, ngoba kungadida. Cabanga ukuthi une-software ngaphansi kwelayisense le-Apache, BSD, noma le-GPL. Uma usebenzisa isigatshana se-Commons kunoma iyiphi yaleyo malayisense noma enye ilayisense yomthombo ovulekile, okwenzayo kuhlonipha zonke izimvume zelayisense yangempela kepha kukhawulela ukusetshenziswa kwesoftware. Imininingwane engaphezulu ku-Commons Clause.
