Re: [Gimp-user] Are Plug-In Covered under the license as we ll?

[sk openmailbox org]

Then it seems my assumption was wrong.

I guessed this because GIMP is part of the GNU-project (hence the actual 
name: Gnu Image Manipulation Program) which requires all licenses to be 
FSF-approved. But perhaps the registry is not an official part of GIMP. 
Probably not, since NC-licenses are allowed.
