Re: [Gimp-user] correct reference for the Gimp ?

[Lyerra <lyerra gmail com>]

My apologies, my question was not clear. I am not asking about the format of the reference but about the content of the reference.

I do not wish to refer to the website (although the reference will contain the website but that is a detail), but to the authors. I wish to acknowledge the work of the persons or group of persons that enabled me to use this program.
