These are not demands being made because of the GPL, but additional expectations to be had of a service purporting to be a friendly host towards open source and free software projects. In my opinion, places where short term profits and something “not being illegal” is sufficient motivation to do business developments – places like the win32 platform with misleading ads, trojaned installers and malicious download helpers like SourceForge provide(s/d) is an argument to avoid affiliation with them in the future for both GIMP and other projects. GIMP already has a presence on the win32 and it is in the GIMP projects interest to try helping shield operators of GIMP on the platform from being harmed by these problems as well as to protect the name and reputation of GIMP. /Øyvind Kolås _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
