GIMP is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

As such, as defined by the Free Software Foundation:

"A program is free software if the program's users have the four
essential freedoms: [1]

The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does
your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a
precondition for this.

The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).

The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others
(freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to
benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition
for this."


This means you do not need to ask permission to use GIMP for anything
you want to do, nor can anyone here deny you permission to use it for
anything you want to do.
