Yep. The GPL was designed for compiled programs, and it shows in
several places.
The relation between a xcf and a gif is precisely one of compilation.
No, not at all. One important difference is that a program in source

That's one of the big reasons we get to argue over preferred form of an

of a program is; in images, it is much less so.
