It's pretty straightforward when it comes to the GPL. You can distribute the compiled software all you want either at no cost or for a price. What you can't do is make changes to it and then distribute it without making those changes available to everyone in source code form. Whatever you distribute must also be made available in source code form, either for free or for a reasonable cost (ie. the cost of making a CD and mailing it). You also can't incorporate any changes that make it incompatible with the GPL, which means any changes you make must not include code that is licensed under an incompatible license (ie. proprietary code). Since the source code for Gimp is easily available already, anyone can distribute the unmodified software and just include a link to the official source code online. Technically, the link is already there in the software. No costs involved, and full compliance with the GPL. -- Frank Gore www.ProjectPontiac.com _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
