You could write this text for the GNU GPL and LGPL, and discuss with the FSF whether it represents the licenses appropriately. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] FAQ: Does the GIMP license permit to do x?
Also FWIW, I just spent the last few minutes (maybe 5-10 mins) looking for the GIMP software license (while pretending I did not know that it was located with the source code). There needs to be a Legal link on the front page (either in the main menu or at the bottom of the page in the footer menu) where links to all associated licenses can be found in one place. The links could include: wgo website source license GNU Free Documentation License for the Documentation GNU GPLv3 for GIMP software itself. Additionally the FSF provides a handy little quick guide to the GPLv3 [1]. I think we should make finding the licenses on the website easier for those who are interested. It is essentially a central page to find all things legal related to GIMP. Perhaps, on the hypothetical "Legal" page when there's a link to the GPLv3 also provide a link to the GPLv3 quick guide [1] to ease its consumption.

Sort of like a faq addressing common concerns. e.g. Can GIMP be freely distributed on physical media (CD, DVD, Magazine) or digital media (download from a third party website)? Yes Can GIMP be modified and freely distributed? Yes but it is recommended (not required) to change the branding in cases of heavy modification so that the GIMP brand is not affected by usage of your modified version.

For more details about the rights provided to you by using GIMP see the [GNU General Public License version 3][license] [license]: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/COPYING The idea is you extract all of the legalese out of the conversation and filter it down to what people care about.

*accidentally skipped the ML in my reply* The point was the license is covered in legalese. There's nothing wrong with humanizing in layman's terms and stating that in terms of contradiction the actual license take precedence. Look at creative commons. They break out a few key points of their licenses and then link to the full license for legal consumption.

[Gimp-user] Rotation
Is there now or are there plans to implement a feature that enables the user to rotate the *view* of the file they're working on? This would be extremely helpful for my computer-based drawing.

[Gimp-user] Action automation in GIMP 2.8/2.9
Hi, I have noticed that in GIMP's rotation/Unified Transform tools we do not have an input box for values that could help automate actions. Say I want to duplicate a flower petal by 12 times and automatically rotate these duplicates each by +5% around the centre. Or are there some hot keys I need to use for such operation? Your feedback will be appreciated. -- josephbupe (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
