Re: [Gimp-user] Commercial use of GIMP

If the plugin is integrated tightly enough derivative work copyright rules come into play and the whole integrated system source may need to be released to satisfy the license. AFERO is more restrictive than plain GPL. But this is still not an exception to commercial use. -- Matthew Miller mat...@mattdm.org http://mattdm.org/ ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

So, that's me, for example. This is also the reason that core GIMP contributors consider this discussion to already be done and dealt with before it flared up and trolls are keeping it artificially alive. The self selected beta testers that are willing to use the development version and work out problems during active development have a larger influence on decisions. These are also the users it makes most sense for the developers to spend their volunteered time communicating with – since these users directly contribute to finding bugs and potential problems early. That doesn't appear to have been the case here.

Do I need to remind you guys that a lot of support for GIMP has come from the open source community? As much as I'd like to tell you Hey, switch to Fedora, because we've got it, the basic fact is that: 1. So does Ubuntu: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gimp/ and 2. The gimp docs clearly tell you how to install it for multiple Linux distributions. http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ The fundamental difference here isn't that Windows and Mac get special treatment.
