Gimp for sale
Hi all,
first post for me.
I was searching for a Gimp 2.4 portable version for my work PC (it has XP), and found this:
http://www.officebox24.de/obp/index.php?keyword=gimp&Search=Suchen&Itemid=156&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse
Apparently they offer no link to download sources or compiled packages.
It is quite cheap, but does it comply with Gimp license? Maybe I just overlook the download page, correct me if I am wrong.
Ciao, leodp

Maybe.
GIMP's licence (the GNU GPL) requires that they make the source code available to anyone who receives a binary copy from them. Maybe they offer you the source code after you buy the binary. That would be fine.
Does someone want to email them to check? I can't find an email address, but maybe someone with better German could find one.

I will contact them.

I got a very clean and kind answer from their support. In short:
1) The source code of Gimp has not been changed: it is the same that can be downloaded from Gimp website.
2) The source of the Launcher, that makes Gmip portable, is in the CD, and it also is under GNU license.
3) Officebox24 does not take money for the software, but only for the printing of the CD, for the Website maintenance costs, and for sending/handling.
That's it, sorry for raising a false red-flag.
Ciao, leodp

This is irrelevant - they have to offer the source code from the same place as the binary (or make arrangements with somebody to provide the source on their behalf; just pointing to a random site that happens to currently contain that source [even if that site is www.gimp.org] is not adequate).

I got an answer from officebox24 support, they have problems registering to the list. That should settle the discussion: Gimp source code is also on the CD. Below their email Ciao, Leodp
Hello Leonardo,
I saw, that there was furthermore discussion about the source code for GIMP for sales.
The source code, for the launcher and for GIMP is on the CD. But its more easier to download it, because there no changes between the normal 2.4.2 version to the portable version.
I try to post it to the list, but I can't. Can you write it for me to the list?
Kind regards
Malte
