No - it's GIMP and it says it's GIMP. It must, however, also link back
to gimp.org and/or make the surce code available, so that anyone who
wants can change it, if they have a degree in image processing and
years of programming experience and cashmere wool socks :)

Yes - GIMP is distributed under the GNU Public License v3, known as the
GPL, and so you should learn about that first.
