ES: La Campaña de FUD (Miedo Incertidumbre y Duda) Muestra que Microsoft Está Perdiendo, Linux Está ganando



Victory

(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: La administración de Obama se dice a considerar una "re-evaluación fundamental de las patentes de software", mientras que Microsoft simplemente apuesta pesadamente en las patentes de software.

CCUANDO Linux fué atacado por SCO que no pasó mucho tiempo para que todos descubran que Microsoft había pagado solapadamente a SCO. La gente ha sabido generalmente que desde entonces (y de antemano) que conforme a los documentos de Halloween, Microsoft hará cualquier cosa que pueda para conseguir que los distribuidores de Linux sean demandados. Sigue usando las mismas estrategias, pero los tipos de monopolios imaginarios cambian y también las códigos de pleito. Motorola demuestra los límites del precipitada estrategia de Microsoft[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Motorola] ; Microsoft no puede apenas completar un ciclo a través de cada scompañía que venda Linux porque tarde o temprano sus productos como el Xbox 360 tienen riesgo de sufrir una interdicción del mercado. Si Microsoft está dispuesto a ir abajo en este carril, después es seguro una muestra de la desesperación y Groklaw tenía un buen artículo acerca de eso ayer, diciendo bastante de lo mismo porque Microsoft ahora está recurriendo incluso a los reguladores anticompetitivos, esperando que también puedan rescatar su moribundo monopolio[http://techrights.org/2011/04/01/46845/] (NADIE HA VIOLADO LA LEGISLACION ANTIMONOPOLIO TANTO COMO MICROSOFT).



Sabemos afortunadamente que el FUD académico de esta semana de hecho es financiado secretamente por Microsoft[http://techrights.org/2011/04/01/avoiding-microsoft-funded-fud/]. El MF, Microsoft Florian[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Florian_M%C3%BCller], quien admite ser un paladín de alquiler (él intenta evitar de la palabra "cabildero"), repite mecánicamente lo que dice su patrón Steve Ballmer hoy, en respuesta a las abolladuras que hice en Identica. Esto está diciendo que incluso no es divertido y el grupo 451 pregunta[http://blogs.the451group.com/opensource/2011/03/30/is-android-fud-a-forebearer-of-linux-like-success/], es la campaña FUD en contra de Android el anuncio del éxito de Linux?

He visto algunas críticas de Android y de Google indicando que está claro o que debe estar claro cuál es código abierto y cuál no lo es. Discutiría, sin embargo, que ha llegado a ser absolutamente confuso cuál es código abierto y cuál no lo es en todas las circunstancias y particularmente en smartphones, como cubrimos en nuestro informe especial Materias de Movilidad de hace dos años y medio. No hay negación de la presión constante para el Android y Google y de otros en el ecosistema para ser verdad al puño y letra del código abierto y sus licencias, aunque dolorosos, sirver para consolidar sus aspectos de código abierto. Sin embargo, las declaraciones y el foul del griterío de las señales contra de Android son absolutamente similares a las quejas, amenazas y, sí, FUD que vimos girar alrededor de Linux hace una década. Y no olvidemos la lección de bastante abierta, que se convierte aún más significativa dada la computación en la nube y las capacidades que se están extendiendo a los smartphones y a otros dispositivos móviles.

En el fondo, lo revelador, los fabricantes y los consumidores se centran pesadamente más en nuevos lanzamientos cada seis meses en vez de que quién está demandando a quién, en el sistema del juego de patentes y de la demanda de software, de la infracción del IP (propiedad intelectual). Para predecir donde se dirige el Android y qué probable va a suceder como resultado del FUD, podemos mirar a Linux, que emergió más fuerte, más competitivo y más listo para las empresas después de las amenazas infames y de los pleitos causados por SCO.


Microsoft ha puesto demasiados huevos en una sóla cesta porque en vez de crear nuevos productos mantiene ocupados a sus trabajadores escribiendo solicitudes de patentes - patentes que son apenas otro paradigma monopolístico que confía en trozos de papel en vez de construir el canal. El gobierno podría, en principio, tirar de la alfombra por debajo de los pies de Microsoft pasando una reforma de patentes que es mejor que la que hemos mencionado mucho recientemente. Obama planea re-evaluar fundamental las patentes del software[http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/silicon-valley-sleuth-blog/2031942/obama-plans-fundamental-rethink-software-patents] según un nuevo informe y más artículos que se están publicando ahora proporcionan justificaciones para tal movimiento[http://blogcritics.org/scitech/article/deep-fryers-green-robots-and-patent/]:

De acuerdo con el estado actual, usted esencialmente no puede escribir un aplicación que no infrinja de alguna manera en algún otra patente. Uno pudo pensar que esto es una exageración, pero hechemos una ojeada la lista siguiente de no-no legales:

1) Nota móvil

Sí, la patente para un viejo anuncio sobre el movimiento del ratón, usada por la mayoría de aplicaciones, fue concedida a Microsoft. Si usted quisiera que su aplicación sea legal, usted no puede utilizarlo.

2) Mensajería del En-juego

Ése es díficil para los desarrolladores de juegos - Yahoo tiene una patente que cubra básicamente el envío de mensajes en-juego. Y no tienen miedo de utilizarla.

3) Juegos onlines

€¿Por qué no prohíbir todos los juegos masivos de multijugadores (MMO) en línea? Eso es lo que podría hacer Sheldon Goodberg, como él tiene una patente muy amplia para el sistema del juego de establecimiento de juegos en red. Él tubo bastante sentido de no ir detrás de Mundo de Warcraft, y él está apuntando al Solitario en línea para comenzar. €¿Quién sabe qué sucederá si tiene éxito?

4) Barra del progreso

€¡Parece que IBM es el único niño en el barrio bien chévere para usar una barra de progreso!

5) Pagar en línea

Éste va a Amazon, porque la idea de almacenar la información del cliente es tan innovadora. Sin embargo, no le debe importar a usted, porque no se le va a permitir hacer ventas en el Internet de todos modos. Apenas compruebe el punto siguiente.


Cúando/si las patentes de software se invalidan en masa, la casa de tarjetas de Microsoft caerá. Así que esparzamos el mensaje sobre patentes del software un poco más lejos es la labor de todos.
