Re: Can I Use GIMP Images from GIMP web site?

[Steven DeWitt <newsgroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jenn,

Someone else will respond to this much more coherently that I can, but  
the long and short of it is, just because software is free to download  
and use doesn't make it legal to profit from its sale unfortunately  
(for some). I forget the word for the open-source license that governs  
it, but I think you are only allowed to distribute copies to other  
people if you don't charge them.

Cheers,

Steven
