There is no license to use the software. The only license for the GIMP
pertains to the code it's self (altering it, etc). You are free to install
and use the GIMP on as many machines as you want, free of charge, for any

If we are assuming "de-throne" means "to replace as what people think of as
a photo editor", then it's more a matter of marketing than anything related
to feature parity. Most people wouldn't know what features were "missing"
in GIMP to compare in the first place. Most of the companies I work with
IMP thus provides an additional important thing: the ability to give back.
This is also priceless, imho.
