[Gimp-user] Nasty website bundles GIMP with Adware/Spyware
I have come across this rather nasty website: gimp.us.com which appears to offer GIMP bundled with a bunch of horrible adware when you use their installer. The website looks like it's official, and they even tell you about all the adware it will install, they also claim that GIMP is advertiser supported which is why they can offer it for free, but is this legal? Can something be done? Aren't they breaking the GNU licence? I fear, if not challenged, websites like this will ruin the reputation of GIMP. I have come across quite a few people who have used this site to install GIMP, thinking it is an official download, and then found their computer compromised. -- bktheman34 (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Forgot to mention, when you click on the apparent source forge link, it starts to download the file from freefr.dl.sourceforge.net Whereas the links from the official website point to this page on source forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/files/GIMP%20%2B%20GTK%2B%20%28stable%20release%29/GIMP%202.6.11%20%2B%20GTK%2B%202.16.6/gimp-2.6.11-i686-setup-1.exe/download Perhaps I am being overly cautious - but people I know have told me they have installed gimp, and other nasties at the same time from the offending website. -- bktheman34 (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

IMHO this is more a case of buyer beware - - I do find it offensive (and I suspect AAdobe is somewhat annoyed at GIMP being termed free Photoshop but that's their worry). People who pursue such paths without a modicum of due diligence sort of get what they deserve. I hope we're not tending toward a national belief that making silly mistakes should be illegal. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I believe the FSF provides enforcement of GPL related complaints. http://www.gimp.us.com/ is providing an installer which is the service and software they take responsibility for. They do not claim authorship of GIMP, but the way they choose to distribute it seems (to me) to fail to comply w/ the GPL. If anyone has tried this installer, and not had source code offered upon request (for GIMP, not the installer) then I would suggest they contact the FSF or GIMP developers. see ya dh ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

They are not providing a download. They are providing a link to an existing download. The whole web site does not actually DO anything except show misleading charts to users and offer up links to downloads they don't own. Further, they DO provide a link to the source code right there at the bottom of every page, and they clearly acknowledge the fact that Gimp is GPL'ed software. They don't pretend to have created it or have anything to do with its development. Near as I can tell, this site's sole purpose is to show up in search results and display ads to people.

Here is the offending page: http://www.gimp.us.com/free-photo-editor/disclaimer.php Yes, that does mention an ad-supported program. However, I still find no way to install what they're advertising, only the official version. I've downloaded the Windows version, it really is the official Windows installer as packaged by Jernej Simončič. I guess they could be charged with not providing the most up-to-date download (2.6.11, they're providing 2.6.10), but the checksum of the two files are the same. (Also, freefr.dl.sourceforge.net is still part of *.sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win/*, so no problem there.) It does seem though, that perhaps at some point in time they did provide an adware installer, and the disclaimer-page is a remnant from that? (They do have GPL links now, at least.) Or perhaps they just never got around to writing that adware version? Best to keep an eye on them then =P -- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
