Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp-docs] Accessibility documentation request

["Dora Smith" <villandra gmail com>]

Actually I think the information Ms. Hunter wants, such as it is, is on this 
page:

http://www.gimp.org/about/

I can see she's going to have to call Legal on this one.   Grin.    TCEQ has 
a staff of lawyers one calls about anything. ;)   Some of them even have 
common sense.

Dear Ms. Hunter,

GIMP is open source software, available for download by anybody at no
charge, subject to a specific licensing agreement.  That licensing
agreement does not make any warranty of accessibility. If the state of
Texas purchased this software, it was obtained from a third party, not
directly from the GIMP project.  Any responsibility for documenting
accessibility would lie with that third party.

See http://www.gimp.org for more information about the project.

Best regards, Bill Skaggs
