Most of those who contribute presumably see this as a positive thing rather than something they "must accept". They re not "required to like" it but presumable actually do like it, otherwise it would seem foolish to contribute (unless perhaps they are being blackmailed , tortured or otherwise force to do so against their will). So , no, they are not required to like it, they can actually, really hate it and still contribute under duress. Next(?) time you submit a patch to gimp you may like add a note as to whether you accept GPL as a good thing or really hate it and accept being required to like it. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
