Gimp and Youtube.

I have a couple of questions regarding Gimp and Youtube.

Am I allowed to monetize Youtube videos with the visuals of Gimp? If I am allowed, can I get written permission to monetize Youtube videos with the visuals of Gimp?

Thank you for your time.

What is a visual an what do you mean by monetize? Make a tutorial and cash in on ads in youtube? That does not need any kind of permission. Using GIMP-s branding and other resources outside Gimp is a different matter... I dont know about that.

But in general, GIMP is GPLv3, so all that is allowed by GPLv3 is allowed with GIMP. There are no restrictions on use. There are some obligations if you plan to distribute gimp. Thats about it.

Yes I mean putting ads on videos like tutorials and time lapses. I just want to make sure as Youtube can be very strict.

Thanks for your reply.

If you mean: use the wilbur icon or copy the various tool icons that gimp uses, then no, they are protected by copyright. You would need to contact the original artists and get permission from them.

If you mean can you use gimp to draw titles or graphics for a video, then yes that's fine.

The gimp license is here:
