If you believe this should be a requirement, it should be part of the license. GIMP is a part of Red Hat Linux, why shouldn't it be a part of the GNOME office suite? If I recall correctly, GIMP is licnsed under the GPL, which means as long as the developers provide the source code changes that they make, they can make the GIMP a part of anything they damn well please. Too many people use this license without understanding (or considering fully) what it means... --- Even if you can deceive people about a product through misleading statements, sooner or later the product will speak for itself. - Hajime Karatsu
