When something like this happens, where else can poor 15 year olds turn?

[Disclaimer]I do not support Pirating, at all. I've never pirated a piece of software or song unless I've legally purchased a copy of that downloaded software or song BEFORE downloading.[/Disclaimer]

WTF is that page? The GIMP is GPLed.

Edit: You do realize the GIMP is free software?

Edit: I didn't mean that by GPLing the GIMP you can't sell it. I just think it's cheap to repackage it without ANY indication of the original GIMP or it's licence.

thats only the supported version, since the source is free, people have ported their own versions:

http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/

and for older versions:

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html

Hello. You are allowed to sell GPLd software if you want. Duh, that's the point. However, you can get what they want for free elsewhere, so in this case, it's pointless.

HAH! I've found a bug in the system...

But isn't it illegal to resell Wingimp? Or are they selling newer versions on the other site? Or what?

Wow, this forum moves SO much faster than the others... Cripe, I posted my last post far before I saw any of the other posts besides genkis...

Jedikirby: That is not a bug in the system. The GIMP is free software. You'd be a fool to buy it from that 'wingimp' site.

I'm under the impression that the terms of the GPL state that the source has be distributed since they're selling it. I could be wrong though.

No, you're right. I don't think they even changed the source.
