Hi, the license of GIMP (GPL) makes no comment on works created via use of the software, so it is unrestricted. The term "derivative works" in the GPL has confused some people at various times -- it means a derived software, though, not any manner of thing which is created *by* the software. For example, there are commercial software packages for Linux compiled with GCC; The compilation result is 'program output', not a derivative work. Hope that clarifies things. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
