Has the issue of Jpeg Patents been brought up yet? (a quick but not thorough search suggests not)
hmmm...What about waiting until october, and THEM start the Gimp Foundation? You can't sue what does not exist....
Honestly...I got scared for the GIMP when I read about the "thou shalt not
open scanned-up money images" blurbs ...
when I read about this JPEG patents, I did not even thought about the GIMP, because it's just too stupid. But..who knows where human greed can take us?
Well you could still sue the plugin maintainer. but that is no point. It is greed drivin, thus there is a second, implict rule, thou shall not sue that which has no money.
