Hi.I purchased the older version of Gimp some time ago, and I am so glad I did. I dislike the new one, but ADORED the old 2.6 Thank you thank you thank you for giving me the option of which one I wanted to run. You need to charge a little for it, though. It is far too good to be free. Regards,Sally =

I can't speak for everyone, but for me: the day GIMP switches to a closed-source model will be a dark one, indeed. Since it's open-source, I can freely download it and modify it however I wish. This is a great freedom, and not one to be given up lightly - particularly in these days of "walled gardens". It's free as in freedom; free as in beer is merely a side effect.

Sorry - didn't mean to get all preachy there ;)

This actually is virtually impossible. There are tons of contributors in the codebase and relicensing that one would mean getting them all to agree (or carefully dissect who did what and remove that code).

And there are quite some hells that need to freeze over to get that agreement from me... :)

Bye, Simon

What would you need freezing hells for? A hot poker is cheap and efficient.

And you can sell it. In fact:
