In response to reports that the "Green Dam Youth Escort Software" Beijing project team has been "closed to dismiss" because of funding problems, yesterday, one of the green Dam developers of Beijing Chen Language Knowledge Processing Institute chairman of the reporter said, "The project team is only moved to the new office, rather than severance."　　In addition, he said that the youth escort software for the operation of the cost of 7 million yuan per year, in the absence of external funds, the big is going to pay their own money, continue to free maintenance of the software.　　The company will pay for the operation of the software Chen Introduction, the Ministry of information to buy green Dam youth escort software contract period of 2008-2009, the payment of the purchase, operation and maintenance of money is only a year's cost. As a result, in 2009-2010, it was a year of free operation and maintenance of the software without external funding, rather than the "state appropriations" mentioned in the report.　　Chen said that in the absence of foreign funds, the big is going to pay for their own money, continue the free operation of the software, because the software is "for the online disadvantaged group services." For 7 million yuan per year of operational costs, Chen said, "Green Dam Youth escort software company information filtering business under a software, is only part of the company's business."　　The company also has other software business and information filtering software running in schools, internet cafes and other areas, these are enough to support the company's own operation and maintenance of green Dam youth escort. The project team is moving rather than demobilizing. In response to the "Severance of personnel" mentioned earlier in the report, Chen responded that the operation team had moved only from the Huajie building to the new office rather than to dismiss it. The project group currently has 28 people, with the increase of software users, may also recruit new, in order to save money to do Office adjustment, is the internal business.　　When the reporter proposed to visit the new office, Chen response "now inconvenient."　　Last year, when the "Green Dam Youth Escort" was asked to be forced to install on the branded PC, it was controversial; some PC makers also told reporters that the software was not pre-installed and that it would only help when the customer clearly indicated that they needed it. Are you worried about the impact on your corporate image when you continue to run the software at this time? Chen smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about, it has also improved our visibility." There are already educational institutions in Taiwan who want to introduce the Internet protection software into the Taiwan market.　　"The image of Green Dam on Taiwan's message board the US lawsuit has nothing to do with it. The ministry canceled the software's contract because a software company in the United States sued the Green Dam youth escort for violating its intellectual property rights to pornographic image recognition technology. In this respect, Chen said that the big is not receiving any legal documents. Green Dam Youth Escort software consists of two parts, the company is responsible for the "Youth escort" section, that is, Chinese text filtering, semantic analysis of the part, does not involve image filtering. This part of the intellectual property rights are "from the root of the", will not infringe on other people's intellectual property rights. When asked about the "Green Dam" part of the infringementWhen possible, Chen said, it is the project another developer Zhengzhou Jinhui company responsible for development, they do not know the relevant issues.　　As for the reason for the ministry's no longer renewing the contract, Chen said that after the expiry of the contract, the big is not receiving the Ministry of Information, and did not contact the Ministry of Information to seek a renewal. Reporters in this regard call and SMS contact the Ministry of Press, as of the time, did not receive a response. (Edit Zhang Xing)
