I have a question. Why is PixelClassics selling GIMP, on DVD, on Amazon? Is that legal? It's a free download for anyone who wants to use GIMP. So, what's going on with PixelClassics selling GIMP on Amazon? I did notify Amazon about this in case this is illegal, and will have to wait to see what's said. |

Not sure of the legality of this, but reporting it could be an option. |

It is legal. From https://www.gimp.org/about/selling.html Quote Is it legal to sell copies of GIMP? Yes. The terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification of GIMP are clearly listed in the GNU General Public License. Redistribution for free or for profit is specifically allowed, as long as the license is included and the source code is made available. What is being sold is the distribution media (DVD or USB) + any extras + postage and unfortunately since it is via Ama-what-not, a cut for them. |
