Galama od Free-Software lawyera je lajanje u prazno, gomila FUD-a sta drugo - Microsoft bi imao ogroman problem da promeni poziciju u vezi OOXML patenata (cak i da to moze, sto je pitanje jer je pozicija koju su objavili
irrevocable, tj. sami su to napisali) jer bi to automatcki znacilo invalidaciju standarda posto ISO ima vrlo jasnu patentnu polisu, a da ne pricamo sta bi to znacilo za reputaciju Microsofta i koliko bi to problema u biznisu sa vladama drugih drzava napravilo. Tako nesto moze samo u glavama FSF zealota da se desava jer ocigledno nemaju puno pojma o biznisu.
Evo na sta se Microsoft obavezao:
Citat:
Microsoft irrevocably promises not to assert any Microsoft Necessary Claims against you for making, using, selling, offering for sale, importing or distributing any implementation to the extent it conforms to a Covered Specification
Bas me zanima kako bi to povukli. Takodje tu je i ECMA polisa o slobodnom kopiranju i raniji pristanak Microsofta da nikog nece tuziti u vezi koriscenja tog standarda (tzv.
Covenant Not to Sue) - sta bi jos trebalo Microsoft da uradi da bi FSF zealoti bili srecni? Verovatno da se ubiju, posto je to jedino resenje prihvatljivo za FSF.
Galama dolazi ponajvise od ljudi koji su mislili (o boze, naivcina) da ce na jednostavan nacin ubiti Microsoftov najvazniji produkt posle Windows-a u bilo kom drzavnom environmentu u EU i sire... Medjutim, nemaju FSF zealoti monopol na "slobodu" i, kao sto se vidi, Microsoft takodje moze jako lako da prihvati pravila igre i izda specifikaciju koja je potpuno otvorena i besplatna.
Najbolji komentar (The Register):
Citat:
>>> To quote from Alex Brown's blog:
"Recently my standards colleague Inigo Surguy wrote a blog entry advising readers how to submit comments on the DIS. Guess how many good technical comments we received. I'll give you a clue: it was a good round number. In fact, guess how many truly meaningful technical objections were emailed to BSI over the whole course of the project. I can remember two. By contrast of course, there were a gabillion emails which were either form letters of MS origin, or copy-and-paste jobs from noooxml.org."
>>> I would have assumed, given the huge rumpus these proceedings have generated, that the BSI would have been inundated with solid technical reasons why OOXML shouldn't become a standard. Evidently this didn't happen - I can only conclude that most of the anti-OOXML zealots are all mouth and no trousers.
Well I did email my objections, but guess what, you can expect most of the objections to look similar when they are objecting to the same points ! So I can only conclude from the comments quoted that anything objecting to one of these common dung-piles must be "... copy-and-paste jobs from noooxml.org".
So THAT's how the situation turned around ! Label all objections as meaningless copy-n-paste jobs and dismiss them, about the only plausible alternative explanation for the BSI changing tack so unexpectedly (the primary explanation being that they were bought).
Ozbiljne tehnicke zamerke su svakako nesto sto mora biti reseno do IS faze i tu je bio sasvim ozbiljan razlog za galamu - postoji dovoljno ozbiljnih eksperata koji mogu da uloze veto pre izlaska specifikacije i mislim da nije ni u cijem interesu da se ti problemi ispeglaju - kao sto rekoh, dosta problema je vec reseno do DIS glasanja.
I kako "ISO Win" moze da izazove anti-trust probleme kada se Microsoft
pismeno obavezao da daje puna prava za koriscenje specifikacije bez ikakve nadoknade bilo kome?! Totalno besmisleno.
I kada je Microsoft izdao VC-1 codec, takodje se pozdravio od kontrole istog (posto je codec postao deo par vecih standarda) - pa niko nije pricao o "anti-trust issues" jer takve ne postoje.
