* The GIMP application core, and other portions of the
|

official GIMP distribution not explicitly licensed otherwise,

are licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE -- see

the 'COPYING' file in this directory for details.

[ The below explicit exemption, we hope, clears up the GIMP
|
|
developers' position concerning an ambiguity with the GNU General
|
|
Public License concerning what constitutes a 'mere aggregation'
|
|
versus a combined or derived work. The intention is to make
|
|
it clear that arbitrarily-licensed programs such as GIMP plug-ins
|
|
do not automatically assume the GNU General Public License (GPL)
|
|
themselves simply because of their invokation of (or by) procedures
|
|
implemented in GPL-licensed code, via libgimp or a similar
|
|
interface to methods provided by the pdb: ]
|
|
|
|
* If you create a program which invokes (or provides) methods within
|
|
(or for) the GPL GIMP application core through the medium of libgimp
|
|
or another implementation of the 'procedural database' (pdb) serial
|
|
protocol, then the GIMP developers' position is that this is a 'mere
|
|
aggregation' of the program invoking the method and the program
|
|
implementing the method as per section 2 of the GNU General Public
|
|
License.
