When possible, I've copied and adapted some chunks of text coming from
the gtk.org website and the API documentation. Ideally in the README
file I should cite the original authors and license, but it can be a bit
tricky, I don't know who have written the paragraphs that I've
copied/modified.  But hopefully for a simple brochure all this
bureaucracy is not needed, the goal is to spread information about GTK+…
Normally the people who have written the content on gtk.org or the API
documentation implicitly agree that the information is copied and
adapted somewhere else. It'd be useless to reinvent the wheel.

To improve the brochure, there is maybe too much text. It'd be nice to
include more images and space out more the text so it's more comfortable
to read.
