La India Enseña a Occidente Cómo Lidiar con los Monopolios Intelectuales

Hindi

(ODF | PDF | English (original))

Resumen: La gente en Occidente debe estar agradecida a la India por hacer lo que la gente ilustrada hace, en lugar de la gente codiciosa para facilitar el progreso y la solidaridad.

A principios de mes que escribió sobre la India lecciones de RAND[http://techrights.org/2010/11/21/india-rand-es/] (también disponible en español[http://techrights.org/2010/11/21/india-rand-es/]). Varios autores lo consideran un ejemplo para Europa a seguir y la FSFE Fundación Europea de Software Libre escribió sobre esto[http://blogs.fsfe.org/gerloff/?p=420]. Opensource.com de Red Hat tiene un artículo sobre el tema[http://opensource.com/government/10/11/open-standards-policy-india-long-successful-journey?sc_cid=70160000000IDmjAAG] y "cómo él Este ganó" Glyn Moody etiqueto/comentó al respecto:

"La semana pasada, la India se convirtió en otro de los principales países a unirse al creciente movimiento global de normas abiertas. Después de tres años de intenso debate y discusión, el Departamento de TI (Tecnología Informática) de la India finalizó su política en materia de estándares abiertos para el e-Gobierno, uniéndose a las filas de las emergentes economías como Brasil, Sudáfrica y otros. Este es un momento histórico y el Departamento de la India de Tecnología de la Información (DIT) merece felicitaciones por la aprobación de una política que asegura la conservación a largo plazo de los datos de la India del gobierno electrónico.

Una gran victoria para la comunidad de código abierto es que la política ahora dice: "4.1.2 Las solicitudes de patentes necesarias para aplicar la Norma identificada se pondrá a disposición de manera libre de regalías por la vida útil de la norma."

Esta victoria es muy importante para la comunidad de código abierto porque de código abierto y estándares abiertos tienen una relación simbiótica. Mientras que el código abierto nos dá la libertad de modificar, compartir y redistribuir el código fuente del software, los estándares abiertos se refieren a la libertad de codificar y decodificar datos y protocolos de redes. Una libertad sin la otra es una libertad limitada."-LEASE: NO ES LIBERTAD-
"Los mandatos de la India abre los estándares de TI Tecnología Informática mientras crecen los temores sobre la política de la UE Unión Europea" fue el titular de PC Semanal (publicación británica)[http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2010/11/19/244014/India-mandates-open-IT-standards-as-fears-grow-over-EU.htm]. Hay muchos grupos de presión de Microsoft y mobbyists presionando por RAND "Razonable y No-Discriminatorias" licencias en Europa y vamos a tener un post acerca de esto.
"El gobierno de la India ha ordenado estándares abiertos para todos sus sistemas de TI Tecnología Informática como los temores de que su equivalente en Europa, Marco Europeo de Interoperabilidad ha sido secuestrado por los titulares de derechos.

La política de India ordena a los titulares de patentes de software a renunciar a cualquier derecho de regalías que tengan sobre las normas de interoperabilidad. Si los titulares de derechos se niegan, sus normas, simplemente no se van a utilizar en los sistemas de gobierno."
Por otra parte, un blog acerca de monopolios intelectuales en la India escribió acerca de una "victoria de los autores para las Personas con Discapacidad"[http://spicyipindia.blogspot.com/2010/11/special-copyright-victory-for-disabled.html], que ayuda a mostrar otra área donde las políticas de monopolio intelectual de la India están por delante de los que se encuentran en el Oeste (por delante como en la más sana y humana).
Prashant recientemente puso de relieve las principales conclusiones de una comisión permanente del Parlamento constituido para estudiar el proyecto de modificación de los derechos de autor. En particular, el informe se presenta como una gran victoria a dos grupos de interesados, a saber, la industria de películas/artistas de la música, por un lado (compositores y letristas que ahora puede reclamar un canon buena un 50% en todas las explotaciones de su trabajo, sin perjuicio de las asignaciones) y las comunidades con discapacidad o capacidades diferentes, por el otro.

Permítanme centrarme en el sector de la discapacidad en esta nota. Voy a dejar las recomendaciones relativas a los compositores de música y letristas (un aspecto sobre el que había escrito varias veces en el pasado) a un puesto más adelante.

Nuestros mensajes anteriores destacó la insuficiencia grave de la "discapacidad" excepción tratado de ser tallado en el proyecto de ley de derechos de autor. En particular, el hecho de que la excepción propuesta se limitaba a las conversiones de las obras con derechos de autor sólo a los formatos "especiales".
Vea lo que Stevie Wonder tuvo que decir sobre el tema[http://techrights.org/2010/09/22/fsf-swpats-australia-and-wipo/]. El cártel de los derechos de autor es mucho más fuerte en donde vive. De nuevo, felicitaciones a la India para mostrar la manera correcta de lidiar con patentes de software y dando un ejemplo a Europa y el resto del mundo.




Eduardo Landaveri adds (in English):

India has shown to the world what really RAND should be: ROYALTY FREE and NON-EXCLUSIVE: "India’s policy orders software patent holders to give up any royalty rights they have over interoperability standards. If rights holders refuse, their standards simply won’t be used in government systems."[http://opensource.com/government/10/11/open-standards-policy-india-long-successful-journey?sc_cid=70160000000IDmjAAG] -It's really FRAND because it doesn't exclude other small && medium size players or even individuals to access FREELY E-Government data.

Here it applies what Armstrong said "It's a small step for a man but a huge leap to humankind" because it ensures the future generations have really choice and free access to their OWN government and personal data without depending on third multinational companies that would be squeezing them from their money for their OWN right to do it.

India is shaking off the heavy shackles of Colonialism by saying enough is enough. They got tired how big multinationals companies have been appropriating from their riches. Latin America, Africa and not only Europe should learn the lesson and not forget how this multinationals have been robbing them and their children from their rich cultural and intellectual heritage. To show just two samples Colgate misappropriate an Indian millenarian formula to clean up teeth[http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101021/10501311526/colgate-patents-traditional-indian-tooth-cleaning-powder-despite-it-being-used-for-thousands-of-years.shtml]. Another example would be USTPO Patent 6093421 and others that would restrict Peruvian Indigenous people and farmes to export maca extracts of Peruvian origin[http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CCEQFjAC&url=http://www.etcgroup.org/upload/publication/194/01/macafinal1.pdf&rct=j&q=Maca being patented&ei=30jxTNfjFJG2sAOUneGmCw&usg=AFQjCNHSG4lIwU9UF52v6c3j4KcBlI-yew&cad=rja].

This is how foreign companies are taking ownership of traditional Third World countries crops like quinoa, maca and others besides the Indian traditional medicines. With India, Brazil, and South Africa as examples, it's time for us Latino American countries to say enough is enough and reject any treaty that gives preference to pharmaceutical patents and specially software patents. Have we learned for history and four hundred years of domination? First came the Spaniards, then the British Companies and later the American Companies. For how long more we should give up our sovereignty?

If we submit what would be when our children grow up and want to develop new technologies benefiting humankind but have to decline due to software patents. We would tied them off as people used to sell their own children to slavery. We would need to pay to access our own government data because the application which create them was a proprietary one.

Open, royalty free and non-exclusive standards ensure true democracy and openess from part of our governments by allowing their citizens to access any government document freely and democratic without imposing them to buy certain office application to do it, or to pay a multinational company for their right to do it because they "own" the standard.

In the US education system, schools pays between $40 and $50 for each copy of Microsoft Office and the School districts pay without hesitating because they're "saving" money. Once those indoctrinated children grow up you tell them write a report, they will answer: "I don't know to use anything but MS Word". And that ladies and gentlemen is a big business for Microsoft. That's why a US high school graduate falls way behind others from graduates from other countries. Latin American, African countries do we want the same for our children? Absolutely NOT! So let's stop software patents by being imposed by Microsoft and its corporate minions. Let us follow India's example to digital independence.

People of India, hats off to you!


Or in Spanish:

La India ha mostrado al mundo lo que realmente RAND debe ser: libre de regalías y no exclusiva: "La política de India ordena a los titulares de patentes de software a renunciar a cualquier derecho de regalías que tengan sobre las normas de interoperabilidad. Si los titulares de derechos se niegan, sus normas, simplemente no se van a utilizar en los sistemas de gobierno."[http://opensource.com/government/10/11/open-standards-policy-india-long-successful-journey?sc_cid=70160000000IDmjAAG] Son realmente justas, razonables y no discriminatorias, ya que no va a excluir a otros jugadores de tamaño pequeño y medio y ni siquiera las personas a acceder libremente a los datos de E-Gobierno.

Aquí se aplica lo que Armstrong dijo: "Es un pequeño paso para un hombre pero un gran salto para la humanidad", ya que garantiza a las generaciones futuras tengan libre acceso to acceder a los datos gobierno-electronico de su propio gobierno y los datos personales sin depender de terceras empresas multinacionales que los aprieta por su dinero, por su propio derecho a hacerlo.

India está sacudiendo las cadenas pesadas del Colonialismo diciendo basta. Se cansaron cómo las grandes empresas multinacionales han sido apropiarse de sus riquezas. América Latina, África y Europa no sólo debe aprender la lección y no olvidar cómo las multinacionales han estado robando a ellos ya sus hijos de su rico patrimonio cultural e intelectual. Para mostrar sólo dos muestras, como Colgate se ha apropiado de una India fórmula milenaria para limpiar los dientes [http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101021/10501311526/colgate-patents-traditional-indian-tooth-cleaning-powder-despite-it-being utilizados por]-miles-de-years.shtml. Otro ejemplo sería USTPO patente 6093421 y otros que tienden a limitar pueblos indígenas y agricultores en Perú para exportar extractos de maca peruana http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CCEQFjAC&url=http de origen [ : / / www.etcgroup.org/upload/publication/194/01/macafinal1.pdf&rct=j&q=Maca siendo patentado y ei = 30jxTNfjFJG2sAOUneGmCw & usg = AFQjCNHSG4lIwU9UF52v6c3j4KcBlI-tejo y cad = RJA].

Así es como las empresas extranjeras están obteniendo la propiedad de los cultivos tradicionales de países del Tercer Mundo como la quinua, maca y otros, además de las medicinas tradicionales de la India. Con la India, Brasil y Sudáfrica como ejemplo, es el momento para nosotros los países de América Latina a decir basta y rechazar cualquier tratado que da preferencia a las patentes farmacéuticas y en especial las patentes de software. €¿Hemos aprendido de la historia y 400 años de dominación? Primero llegaron los españoles, a continuación, las empresas británicas y más tarde las empresas estadounidenses. €¿Por cuánto tiempo más debemos renunciar a nuestra soberanía?

Si nos sometemos que será cuando nuestros hijos crezcan y quieran desarrollar nuevas tecnologías beneficiar a la humanidad, pero que seran impedido de hacerlo debido a las patentes de software. Nosotros les ataremos las manos como la gente solía vender sus propios hijos a la esclavitud. Tendríamos que pagar para acceder a nuestros datos propio gobierno porque la aplicación que los creo era una aplicación proprientaria.

Los estándares abiertos, libres de regalías garantizan una verdadera democracia y apertura de parte de nuestros gobiernos, al permitir a sus ciudadanos a acceder a cualquier documento del gobierno libre y democráticamente sin imponer a comprar ciertas aplicaciones de oficina para hacerlo, o para pagar a una compañía multinacional por su derecho a hacerlo porque "es dueña" de la norma.

En el sistema educativo de EE.UU., las escuelas pagan entre $ 40 y $ 50 por cada copia de Microsoft Office y los distritos escolares lo hacen sin vacilar, porque estan "ahorrando" dinero. Una vez que los niños adoctrinados crecen les pides escribir un informe, que será la respuesta: "Yo no sé usar nada más que MS Word". Lo que las señoras y señores es un gran negocio para Microsoft. Es por eso que un graduado de la escuela secundaria EE.UU. cae muy por detrás de otros de los graduados de otros países. América Latina, países Africanos queremos lo mismo para nuestros hijos? Absolutamente NO! Así que rechazemos las patentes de software ser impuestas por Microsoft y sus secuaces corporativos. !Sigamos el ejemplo de la India a la independencia digital!

Pueblo de La India, me saco el sombrero delante de ustedes!
