Since GIMP is free and open source software (FOSS -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software ), under the GPL licence, 
you are allowed to distribute it as part of your distribution, as long as you
make any downstream changes to the source code available.

Note that a new major version of GIMP - 2.8.0 will be released soon.
