Re: GIMP on EBAY

["whitbybikers" <whitby.bikers@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't forget some people have slow connections and might not be easily able to get a larger download (even though Gimp is not especiallylarge!).
For example I was happy to buy Openoffice on a disc a few years ago from an ebay seller because at the time it would have taken about 6 hours to download it.

  This is specifically allowed under the terms of the GNU General Public 
  License.
  Form the GPL FAQ:

  *Does the GPL allow me to sell copies of the program for money?*

  Yes, the GPL allows everyone to do this. The right to sell copies is
  part of the definition of free software. Except in one special
  situation, there is no limit on what price you can charge. (The one
  exception is the required written offer to provide source code that
  must accompany binary-only release.)
