Ladies and gentlemen,

during our research for software of the category image processing programms, we found the homepage of your product GIMP.

And this is of great interest for our project Blueforge! It is a German project, based on the well-known Wikipedia-method. Our aim is to create a knowledge base about every kind of software. This special Wiki should give a comprehensive overview of different software products, categorised by the fields of application.

In the following days, also your software should be placed at Blueforge.biz. To extend the article about your software product, we want to add a logo and maybe other pictures from your homepage, like for example screenshots or product pictures. Therefore we want to ask you for the permission to add these to the article. Of course, we will also provide the pictures with the appropriate reference to the producer and resource. If you send us some more information about the license, we will also add those to the pictures. To guarantee optimal quality of your product logo at Blueforge, please send us your logo file and well add it to the article. If you want to send us some more important informations about your software, youre always welcome and were looking forward hearing from you.

The Blueforge project is in German so far, but the next step is to offer it in English and other languages too. We would appreciate your help and hope youll support us with your permission for the pictures!

With best regards,

Angelika Mueller

You do not need to ask permission. You just have to read the program & documentation licences to comply. You see, people at wikipedia never asked any permission here to publish the GIMP pages... they just comply with the GIMP GPL & GNU FDL licences...
