Apollo:
The license of GIMP (GPL) allows you to use GIMP for any purpose, so if
your question is regarding usage of GIMP, you have absolutely no
restrictions about how to use it and you don't have to ask permission to
use it.
The only restriction that applies is regarding code: as you have the
source code of GIMP available and you're free to study it and even
modify it, if your make your own modifications and plan to redistribute
them you're obligued to distribute the modified code along with the
executable.

If you're not planning to make any modifications to the code, you don't
have to worry or ask for permission.
