This has got way OT already.
Please, no one send any other e-mail involving politics. Animosities
could explode on either side, and this won't help colaborative work
for Free Software, be it the GIMP or any other project.

Please give my regards to the French, and speaking of Liberty, you might
want to recall who liberated France from German occupation, not once, but

The name is fine. It's unusual and easy to remember.
It never made me think of a disabled person until it
was mentioned here. ... PhotoChop? ... now that makes
me think of 'butcher'.

Insightful remark. Gimp is the Gimp. Not a Photoshop clone. It
shouldn't be the same and its name shouldn't imply it. It is an
original software.

No. The name is very nice and many people already know it.
It is a good brand. Even people that never used it often heard about

Well, as you ask, I do NOT think a name change is needed. The GIMP is great!
The name is fine, and it's not a name I have trouble remembering.
