Licenca
je pisno dovljenje (dokument), s katerim se dovoli neka dejavnost, ki bi
drugaèe bila kazniva. Èe ta pojem prenesemo k programski opremi, nam licenca
torej dovoli, da program uporabljamo – torej je pogodba med uporabnikom (to smo
mi) in izdelovalcem programskem opreme. V njej so opisane vse naše pravice in
dolžnosti pri uporabi doloèenega izdelka, zato moramo to, da se z njo
strinjamo, ponavadi potrditi že med samo namestitvijo. Licenca pa ne služi le
temu, da nas podjetje seznani s pogoji uporabe njihovega izdelka, obièajno
namreè vsebuje tudi èlen, s katerim se podjetje zavaruje (veè o tem bomo
govorili v poglavju “osnovni èleni razliènih licenc”).
Uporaba programa brez
primerne licence je kazniva, veèjim kršiteljem je zgroženo celo z zaporom. No, in to nas poèasi pripelje do
naslednjega, zelo poznanega (popularnega) pojma: piratska programska oprema.
Piratska
programska oprema so programi brez ustrezne licence. Ta pojem postaja vse bolj
“popularen”, ne le to, poznamo celo komercialne strani, ki nam ponujajo kode za
odklepanje razliène programske opreme.
Veliko uporabnikov
sploh ne ve, da je njihova programska oprema ilegalna, zato so toliko bolj
preseneèeni, ko jih o tem seznani policija (èe jih dobijo, seveda). Poglejmo
torej, na kaj je treba paziti, ko kupujemo programsko opremo:
ü
Predvsem
pomembna je licenca – preverite èe je originalna (ponavadi vsebuje kakšna
varovala – vodni žig, hologram, ipd.)
ü
Preverite
ovitek – preverite, èe je na ovitku izpisano ime program in logotip
proizvajalca.
ü
Preverite
serijsko številko – dobro preglejte ovitek, èe serijska številka morda ni
odlepljena.
Tako imenovanega
piratstva pa obstaja veè vrst:
ü
Softlifting
(kopiranje) – to je, èe podjetja svojim delavcem dajejo programe, kupljene z
licenco le za institucijo. V to kategorijo pa spada rudi “izmenjava disket” med
“prijatelji”.
ü
Hard-disk
loading (“umazan trdi disk”) – to pomeni, da podjetja na raèunalnike, predenjih
prodajo posnamejo nelegalno programsko opremo
ü
Presnemavanje
– Posnemanje celotnega proizvajalèevega sistem (logtipi, imena, ipd.). To je
ena najnevarnejših oblik za konène uporabnike, saj je ponavadi težko prepoznati
razliko med originalom in duplikatom
ü
Online
(omrežno) piratstvo – uporabniki si prenašajo programsko opremo preko medmrežja
(interneta), brez primerne licence
ü
Zloraba
licence – licenca je uporabljena ali prikazana napaèno – npr. oprema namenjena
izobraževalnim institucijam je uporabljena v podjetjih, ki nimajo povezave z
izobraževanjem.
Kot smo že omenili poznamo veè vrst licenc.
Delimo jih na dva razlièna naèina:
2.
Po številu uporabnikov in tipu dostopa:
Ponavadi lahko kupimo za nek program licenco
za enega ali veè uporabnikov. Tako tu loèimo naslednje licence:
ü
Osebne licence –licenca velja
za enaga uporabnika, ki pa ponavadi lahko naredi varnostno kopijo zase, program
pa lahko uporablja na dveh raèunalnikih, pod pogojem, da ga uporablja sam
ü
Licence za manjša podjetja – licence ponavadi veljajo
za veè kot enega uporabnika, praksa pa je, da so naslednje licence cenejše
ü
Licenca za srednja in veèja
podjetja (omrežne licence) – licence veljajo za en strežnik (server), na
katrerega je vezanih omejeno število raèunalnikov
ü
Medmrežna (internet) licenca –
licenca, ki je ponavadi tudi najdražja, saj velja za neomejeno število
uporabnikov, in ponavadi za en medmrežni (internet) strežnik.
3.
Po pravicah za uporabo:
Tu je najprej potrebno povedati, da je to
le grob oris vrst licenc, saj jih je v resnici veliko veè vrst, vendar jih ne
sreujemo pogosto. Znaèilne so predvsem za posebne vrste programske opreme, kot
so na primer orodja za izdelovanje programov, ipd.
V splošnem torej loèimo:
ü
Standardna licenca (vèasih kar
Software licenca): To je licenca, ki jo ponavadi dobimo zraven h kupljeni ali
registrirani programski opremi. Ponavadi nam dovoljuje neomejeno uporabo
programa, uporabo vseh njegovih funkcij, vèasih pa še kakšne dodatne ugodnosti,
kot so na primer popusti pri nadaljni programski opremi itd.
ü
Omejena licenca: Kar se uporabe
programa tièe, imamo tudi tukaj možnost uporabe vseh funkcij, vendar pa smo
èasovno omejeni. Tudi to dobimo h kupljeni programski opremi. Èasovna omejitev
pomeni, da program po preteku doloèenega roka preneha normalno delovati, mi pa moramo podalšati licenco. Vendar pa
imamo pri programih registriranih na tak naèin ponavadi brezplaène nadgradnje.
ü
Shareware/Evaluation
(preizkusna) licenca – To je tip licence, ki ga proizvajalci uporabljajo
predvsem za promocijo svojih izdelkov. To je licenca, ki jo sicer dobimo
brezplaèno, vendar smo omejeni pri delu s programom. Kar se omejitev tièe,
tukaj nimamo nekakšnega stalnega pravila, najveèkrat smo omejeni èasovno,
nemalokrat pa se zgodi, da izdelkov ne moremo shranjevati, tiskati, ipd. Po preteku doloèenega roka (to
velja le, èe je licenca èasovno omejena) moramo program odstraniti, ali pa
kupiti celo verzijo (Standardno licenco)
ü
Freeware (brezplaèna) licenca –
To je licenca, ki nam dovoljuje neomejeno uporabo programa, brez da bi jo
morali plaèati.
pretvarjal nazaj v izvorno kodo, ga
spreminjal, uporabil kakšen njegov del, ipd. –
skratka te licence nam še ne dajejo avtorskih pravic
ü
Neomejena (avtorska) licenca –
licenca, ki nam dovoljuje s programom delati takorekoè karkoli. Nekatere nam
dovoljujejo komercialno distribucijo prilagojenega programa, druge spet ne,
vendar so vse v osnovi enake. Uporabniku dovoljujejo, da uporabi izvorno kodo
programa za svoje lastne potrebe in jo tudi priredi. Primer takšnega programa je operaciski sistem
LINUX.
ü
Najmanj komplicirano je
ponavadi zgrajena Freeware licenca. Ta ponavadi vsebuje le èlene, ki nam
prepovedujejo prilastitev avtorskih pravic in èlene, ki izdelovalca zašèitijo.
To so èleni, ki nam povedo, da izdelovalec ni odgovoren za kakršnokoli škodo,
ki bi jo program utegnil povzroèiti. Na koncu je ponavadi še èlen, ki nam pove,
da je kršitev pogodbe kazniva.
ü
Najbolj komplicirani sta
ponavadi Standardna in Omejena licenca. To je le opis standardnega vzorca:
ü
Prvi èlen ponavadi obrazloži
pojme licenca (license agreement), uporabnik (user – mi), developer
(izdelovalec). Ter verjetno vsem dobro znano kratico EULA (skrajšano: licenca)
ü
Naslednji èlen ponavadi
razjasni avtorske pravice.
ü
Nadalje sledijo prepovedi
posojanja, kopiranja, spreminjanja ipd.
ü
Potem
je na vrsti del, v katerem nam povejo,
da oni ne bodo niè krivi, èe se karkoli zgodi
ü
Na
koncu sledi še del, na podlagi katerih zakonov je licenca sestavljena.
ü
Nekje vmes se nahaja še Preizkusna licenca. Le ta ponavadi vsebuje podobne
èlene kot standardna, le da vsebuje še dva dodatna èlena, eden nam pove, katere
funkcije v programu ne bodo delovale, drugi pa, èez koliko èasa moramo program
kupiti ali izbrisati iz trdega diska.
