Some parts of GIMP's source code are covered by the LGPL; GIMP also
depends on some 3rd party components which have different licenses,
but AFAIK, they're all compatible with GPL.

User doesn't have to agree to any of GIMP's licenses in order to use
it - GPL–compatible licenses only govern redistribution, not usage
(they're not EULAs).
