minus-squareDem Bosain@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 day agoSorry, none of those are true. -GIMP is freeware. -It’s also open source. -It’s also free to distribute. -It’s free to modify. -It’s even free to sell, as long as you include the source code.
minus-squareganymede@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-219 hours ago -GIMP is freeware. did you source that from the GIMP documentation? because it very much appears you didn’t. (please link to the direct quote if i’m wrong). in contrast my quote comes directly from page 4 of their own PDF User Manual which very clearly states: The GIMP is not freeware personally i’ll go with what GIMP says in their own manual. you’re welcome to believe whatever thing you wish - enjoy.
