Re: [Gimp-developer] Reading and saving of 3D MPO files in GIMP

[Albrecht Lohöfener <albrechtloh gmx de>]

I will write a mail to the author of the mpo splitting source code to 
ask him if it is possible to change the license to gpl v3.
If he changes the license it will simplify the development of the mpo 
import filter, because we can use the normal jpeg import filter.

Best  regard,
Albrecht
