No one will make you share anything. Is that the question? How to make a
file with no meta data? I think, it's safe to assume graphics are created
and/or edited in a graphics manipulation program. Identifying said program
really just does that. It identifies the tool. Advertising for said tool is
a great reason. Maybe the developers of gimp would have more to offer on
the decision to include metadata that identifies the tool. I'm +1 for
leaving that identifying information in by default. I'm sure we can discuss
constructively how to create a file in gimp or Linux, generally, without
said identifiers.
