Chapter 923 Copyright Protection
"But Mr. Fu, it's not the time to relax." Yan Yuanchao frowned and said, "When I was having dinner just now, the people from Great Wall and Lenovo..."
Fu Song raised his hand and interrupted, "Zhang Butcher Zhang doesn't eat pigs with hair. I haven't taken the size of Great Wall and Lenovo seriously yet, let them go."
Yan Yuanchao said: "The Great Wall and Lenovo are small in size, but after all, they are all national-owned enterprises. They are well-known and are much more convenient for doing things than us. When I first applied for a computer production license, I almost got tortured to death. I don't know how many such troubles will be in the future. However, with the affirmation of President Zhou and Secretary He, I hope it will be better."
Compared with state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises, private enterprises are raised by a little girl. Fu Song was helpless about this and thought for a while and said, "You are right. Since Great Wall and Lenovo don't miss us, then let's find someone else. Isn't there a factory under Liu Xianlin's Siwei Foresight Company? Ask him if he is willing to produce computers. Also, in my hometown, when Inspur was making computers, Great Wall and Lenovo didn't know where to feed themselves."
Yan Yuanchao said: "Mr. Fu, when Inspur is working on computers, Dos, Great Wall, Inspur is not the same, right?"
Fu Song said speechlessly: "I'm just giving an example, you're taking it seriously. Lao Yan, since we have held a software developer conference, we might as well have another hardware developer conference and invite domestic related companies. Competent companies with strength can produce complete machines, and companies with smaller strength can produce parts for complete machine manufacturers."
Yan Yuanchao was more cautious and said, "I think it would be better to wait until the meeting is over in the afternoon and see the developer's reaction."
Fu Song said: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you, and I will not care about it."
The developer conference continues at 2 pm.
Because there was no leader attending in the afternoon, the layout of the venue was adjusted, and the tables surrounded the city rectangles, circled in circles, so that everyone could communicate face to face.
As Yan Yuan Dynasty raised one issue after another, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more lively.
After discussion, everyone's focus finally is two. The first is the copyright protection of software. If the pirated version is horizontal, naturally no one is willing to write software.
In this era, there was no formal system for software circulation and there was no Internet, so the software distribution method was very primitive and simple, just to communicate the software they had together.
There were no mobile hard disks and U disks in this era. The removable storage media were mainly 5.25-inch floppy disks and 3.5-inch floppy disks. The former had a capacity of about 1.2mb and the latter was 1.44mb. So the way to communicate software is like selling discs at the gate of the computer city, paying money and delivering goods in the same way.
It is convenient for two people to communicate, but they often encounter such a situation. Li Si does not have the software that Zhang San wants, but Li Si’s friends have it, and Zhang San has the software that Li Si wants, and Zhang San’s friends have it in their hands. Li Si’s friends Wang Wu wants...
So in order to improve efficiency, spontaneous software distribution centers were created.
Software distribution centers are similar to vegetable markets. Most people come to the distribution centers for Taobao, while some people sell software. There are also different sizes of software, including self-employed individuals and large wholesalers.
In the 1980s and 1990s, all kinds of software were charged, but the so-called copyright protection was far from in place. After a software was launched, as long as the sales volume was good, various piracy would appear immediately, so encryption technology became crucial.
Therefore, whether it is a software self-employed or a software wholesaler, in order to ensure their own interests, they will encrypt the software.
There are corresponding products when there is demand, so various encryption software applications are born.
"I'll explain it to you." Yan Yuanchao stood in the center of the venue and pressed his hands down. "We mainly protected the copyright of the software through two measures. The first measure is to preinstall the operating system and software in the factory computer, and pay the author's copyright fee directly according to the number of computers left. Yuanwang Technology will establish a software library, and the computer manufacturer will select the software from the software library. Of course, under this method, the copyright division will be determined by negotiation between the software author and the computer manufacturer, and Yuanwang Technology can also be entrusted to conduct unified negotiations with the computer manufacturer."
"This is copyright protection through formal software distribution channels. The second way is the innovative software package manager of the panda operating system. As mentioned in the morning, the panda operating system mainly manages software installation, uninstallation, etc. through the software package manager. The panda operating system stipulates that each software installer must contain a series of encrypted copyright authentication information. When the operating system is installing software, the package manager's inspection program first conducts a series of compliance checks on the installer. If the copyright authentication information is incorrect or missing, it is determined that this is pirated software and its installation is prohibited."
Someone raised his hand and asked: "General Manager Yan, how do you add copyright certification information to the software? What is the specific principle?"
Yan Yuanchao smiled and said, "The specific principle is kept confidential. I know that there are many cracking experts among the people who come to the conference. If I say it out, wouldn't it be cracked by you in minutes?"
Everyone burst into laughter, and many people were ready to beat their hands and shouted: "General Manager Yan, I plan to challenge it."
"I welcome everyone to challenge you like to find fault. No matter who can crack the copyright certification program of the panda system, Yuanwang Technology will reward 100,000 yuan! Those who are present today can testify!"
Of course, Yan Yuanchao knew that no matter what software, it would be impossible to escape the fate of being cracked. The only difference is the input-output ratio and the length of time, so he didn't mind at all. The devil was one foot taller and the path was one foot taller. If it was really cracked, then it would be changed.
Moreover, someone took the initiative to help find a bug, but he still wanted it, and 100,000 yuan was not much.
He thinks that 100,000 yuan is a drizzle because his current annual salary plus a bonus of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, but for coders, 100,000 yuan is an astronomical figure. How many copies of software do you have to sell to make 100,000 yuan?
After Yan Yuanchao threw a big thunder, he stopped paying attention and continued: "Go back to the point, the comrade just asked me, how to add copyright certification information to the software? First of all, the developer needs to apply for certification from Yuanwang Technology. If the certification is passed, Yuanwang Technology will provide a developer certification program. This certification program is used in conjunction with the software development toolkit. During the process of compiling the software, the certification program will write the copyright information that belongs to the developer into the program source code..."
