minus-squareDem Bosain@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 hours 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-up1·edit-227 seconds 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 in many different languages: The GIMP is not freeware someone please let the GIMP team and their many translators know that some guy on lemmy wrote something, so they’re all wrong now, apparently.
