>> The Linux kernel is also GLP [sic], but the majority of Linux CD distributions >> does not ship the source. Oh yes they do. Not on single-CD installation disks, but all Linux distros provide source package files for all Open Source packages they provide, from their own repositories. Usually the "original" tarball included in such source packages is *exactly* the same one that is or was available from the package's upstream, and the distro-specific changes, if any, are then as separate diff files. --tml _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
