Pirate Party: Copyright reform poses no threat to GPL
Pirate Party: Copyright reform poses no threat to GPL


Richard Stallman, the founder of Free Software Foundation voiced his opinion on Sunday 26th of July 2009, regarding Pirate Party's goal of making software free from copyright after a certain period of time. According to Stallman, harm would be caused by proprietary software utilizing code from free software, without the GPL affecting the program that is created by the result. In reality, the harm is directed to so few cases, that there is no sensible reason to write a special law based on these incidents.

In Finland, the pirate party is lobbying for limiting the copy right term from 5 to 10 years, a time, which in the software world is excruciatingly long. Few people use software from 10 years ago, and the use of 5 year old software is limited at best. Software, that is maintained actively, is updated fairly often. In these cases, the earlier versions do become free with age, but few software developers are interested in old versions instead of the new, fixed and improved ones.

"Richard Stallman has been an active member in the discussion board between the international Pirate Parties, and he has presented good viewpoints. The question here is more about grasping onto details. Stallman supports many of the things The Pirate Party aims to change" - The leader of Pirate Party Finland, Pasi Palmulehto

GPL is a license, which aims to bring more freedom, instead of restrictions to the software industry. In his article, Stallman proposes forming of a code bank, where from source code would be released after the copyright has expired, to the public use. GPL is within many of the stances within The Pirate Party, although forming of this kind of warehouse, maintaining it, and making sure that all source code is gathered to it, and released from it, and monitoring it isn't realistic enough to be accomplished.

Piraattipuolue: Tekijänoikeussuojan lyhentämisestä ei uhkaa GPL:lle

Free Software Foundationin perustaja Richard Stallman otti sunnuntaina 26.7.2009 kantaa piraattipuolueiden tavoitteeseen saada myös ohjelmistot tietyn vuosimäärän kuluttua vapaaksi. Stallmanin mukaan haittaa koituisi erityisesti siitä, että suljetun koodin ohjelmien kehityksessä voisi hyödyntää vapautunutta koodia ilman GPL-lisenssin tarjoamien etujen periytymistä uuteen ohjelmistoon. Todellisuudessa haitat kohdistuvat niin harvoihin tapauksiin, ettei niiden pohjalta ole realistista harkita kirjattavaksi lakiin poikkeustapauksia.

Suomessa Piraattipuolue ajaa tekijänoikeussuojan rajoittamista 5–10 vuoteen – aikaan, joka ohjelmistomaailmassa on hyvin pitkä. Harvaa yli 10 vuotta vanhaa ohjelmistoa enää käytetään, ja vain 5 vuotta vanhan ohjelmakoodinkin kohdalla käyttö on suhteellisen vähäistä. Ohjelmisto, jota ylläpidetään aktiivisesti, päivittyy kuukausien ja vuosien varrella. Siitä julkaistaan uusia versioita ja tekijänoikeussuoja alkaa alusta jokaista uutta versiota kohden. Tällöin aiemmat julkaisut toki vanhenevat vähitellen vapaiksi, mutta harvempaa ohjelmistokehittäjää kiinnostavat vuosien takaiset versiot korjattujen ja paranneltujen sijaan.

— Richard Stallman on ollut aktiivisesti mukana piraattipuolueiden välisellä keskustelulistalla, ja hän on esittänyt hyviä näkökulmia. Kyse onkin pikemminkin yksityiskohtiin puuttumisesta, sillä Stallman tukee monia Piraattipuolueen tavoitteita, kertoo Piraattipuolueen puheenjohtaja Pasi Palmulehto.

GPL on lisenssimuoto, jonka tarkoitus on rajoitusten sijaan tuoda lisää vapautta ohjelmistoalalle. Stallman ehdottaa kannanotossaan koodipankin perustamista, josta lähdekoodi julkaistaisiin tekijänoikeussuojan rauettua julkiseen jakoon. GPL mukailee monia Piraattipuolueen kantoja, ja Stallmanin idea on periaatteessa hyvä, mutta sen toteutus olisi kuitenkin valitettavan hankalaa. Tällaisen varaston ylläpito sekä maailman kaikkien julkaistujen ohjelmistojen valvonta ei ole realistinen tavoite.
