There are no license restrictions on how you use GIMP either personally or within your company/agency. You may make as many copies as you like and install them on as many machines as you like. You may make modifications and improvements to the code and so long as you do not distribute the modified versions outside your company, there is no requirement that you share your changes. Basically, as long as your usage of the GIMP remains internal to your company, you have effectively the same rights as original author would have. However, should you decide to distribute GIMP to people outside your company then there are some conditions that must be satisfied. These conditions vary somewhat depending upon the nature of your distribution but they boil down to basically three things 1) you must be be willing to provide the source code, 2) you must offer recipients the same unrestricted rights to use/copy/modify the program and the source code that you had, and 3) you must provide recipients with a patent license for any patented technologies which you have introduced in the code you've added GIMP. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
