[Gimp-user] FAQ: Does the GIMP license permit to do x?

[scl <scl gplus gmail com>]

Hi,

from time to time we are asked whether the GIMP license
permits to do this or that, for instance publish GIMP
created art or redistribute GIMP.

GIMP itself is licensed under the [GNU General Public
License, version 3], the GIMP libraries are licensed under
the [GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3].
Both describe the usage conditions.

In case of doubt the following documents might also be
helpful:
- https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/LICENSE
- http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html (a comprehensive
collection of frequently asked questions).

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Sven
