Re: [Gimp-user] Commercial Use of GIMP?
Kevin, Hi there. No problem. You may use Gimp for whatever you like. If you make money from your use use of Gimp, that is fine. You can probably find something on gimp.org to back that up. It may be covered in the license. I'm sure what I've said is correct, but I'm not going fishing for links. I've never heard of a piece of software that prohibits you from using that software to make money. Does anyone else know of software that restricts people from using the program to make money?

I see more work needs to be done to counter the lies spread by big business about what free software is (and is NOT).
