    edit: it just occurred to me you may not be a native english speaker, in which case i apologise. “typically not” means it usually doesn’t happen.


    For anyone who’s wondering (from the GIMP manual)

    The GIMP is not freeware

    GIMP er ikkje såkalla “freeware”

    El GIMP no es freeware

    GIMP non è freeware

    GIMP n’est pas un freeware

      Sorry, 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.

        -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.
