大家好, 小弟近日试包了 jmce-0.22 的 Debian 软件包,发现里面包括了 大易输入法 (Dayi) 和呒虾米输入法 (Boshiamy)。因为两者皆不是 「自由软体」,所以我打算把 Dayi 另行放入 jmce-nonfree 套件里 (感谢_谢东翰_兄对太易资讯公司的协议,让我们可以合法地发布 这个输入法,只是我们自己不能作任何修订而已,可以放入 Debian 的 non-free 「非自由」的部分。)
至于 Boshiamy,因为未经行易有限公司的许可, 尽管不是 Boshiamy 原来的资料档,而是各个热心的 Boshiamy 使用者 自己制作出来的,但为了以防万一,确保 Debian 不会犯法, 所以我打算完全不包。 以上两点,我在 README.Debian 有解释,谨附了 README.Debian 的初稿, 想在此问问大家的意见,我这样做,会不会太过火呢? ^_^ 另外,有没有人问过行易公司有没有把 Boshiamy 公开放出来的意愿? 感谢各位! 东东 -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling Civil and Environmental Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Alberta, Canada Debian Chinese Project -- http://www.debian.org/international/chinese/ Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp -- http://www.olvc.ab.ca/ -- | This message was re-posted from debian-chinese@lists.debian.org | and converted from big5 to gb2312 by an automatic gateway.
jmce for Debian --------------- [Note: the following text contains Chinese characters in Big5 encoding.] 1. 大易输入法在哪里? Where is Dayi input method? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 大易输入法并非自由软体,也不是开放原始码软体,因为太易公司 严禁使用者对大易输入法的码表作任何的修改,但倒可以自由发布。 因此,配合 jmce 使用的大易输入法另外放在 jmce-nonfree 套件里, 请自行安装。也欢迎您向太易资讯发表您的意见,请他们考虑把 大易输入法开放为真正的自由软体/开放原始码软体。 太易资讯网站: http://www.dayi.com/ Dayi input method is neither Free Software nor Open-Source Software because any modifications to its source is prohibited. However, it may indeed be freely distributed. If you want to use it, please install the jmce-nonfree package. Please write to Dayi to ask them to consider making Dayi input method truly Free and Open Source. Dayi Software Corp. Home Page: http://www.dayi.com/ 2. 为什么没有呒虾米输入法? Where is Boshiamy input method? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 呒虾米输入法是专利软体,完全不能自由地发布。尽管 jmce 的呒虾米 输入法是一些使用者自制的,但因为行易有限公司仍有呒虾米的专利, 所以,使用或发布这个自制的呒虾米输入法资料档,就是「侵权」了。 有鉴及此,Debian 本著自由软体和守法的原则,不发布呒虾米输入法。 既然行易有限公司不支援自由软体社团的使用者,为什么还要用他们的 呒虾米输入法呢?如果您因此而感到不满,请向行易有限公司投诉。 行易有限公司网站: http://www.liu.com.tw/ Boshiamy is proprietary software. It cannot be distributed freely. Although the Boshiamy input method data in jmce is created by some end-users, it still falls under the "intellectual property right" of Hang-yi Co. Ltd., Boshiamy's original creator. It would be unethical and illegal to use or distribute this Boshiamy input method data. Therefore, to obey the law and the spirit of Free Software, Debian cannot the distribute Boshiamy input method method. If Hang-yi Co. Ltd. does not care about the users of the Free Software community, why use their Boshiamy input method? If you are not happy about the current situation, please send your complaints to Hang-yi Co. Ltd.
