Hi,
I heard that Gobe Productive (http://www.gobe.com/) ships with plug-ins
based on source code from The GIMP and sent them a letter asking for
source code. I'm forwarding their answer here...
Salut, Sven

Actually, the GPL says
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
In accordance with section 3a, gobeProductive ships with a machine
readable copy of all GPL'd source code on its CD, a medium customarily
used for software interchange. Therefore, sections 3b and 3c are not
applicable.
However, in the spirit of open source, Gobe maintains archives of the
GPL source code on its web site:
GPL <http://www.gobe.com/downloads/ImageManipSrc.zip>
LGPL <http://www.gobe.com/downloads/LibartSrc.zip>
