No - it's GIMP and it says it's GIMP. It must, however, also link back
to gimp.org and/or make the surce code available, so that anyone who
wants can change it, if they have a degree in image processing and
years of programming experience and cashmere wool socks :)

Yes - GIMP is distributed under the GNU Public License v3, known as the
GPL, and so you should learn about that first.

[Gimp-developer] Does this infringe GIMP's rights? Title, logo

[JAMES John via gimp-developer-list]

Hello,
We are very sorry for disturbing you.
We are the developers of the Microsoft Store and want to Re-release GIMP on the 
Windows Store.

And when we browsed in the store, we found this app.

NAME: GIMP Free Version For Store
URL: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/gimp-free-version-for-store/9n2pkq64wn5q
LOGO :
[cid:image001.png@01D6B2F0.E874EB40]


What we are confused about is whether this app violates the rights of GIMP? 
regarding its title and logo.
Can we use similar names and logos?


Thank you very much and look forward to your reply.

Best wishes.
John
