Seriously, this guy is hilarious. Check out the bidders on the gimp auction, the obviously fabricated comments on the seller, and the other items the seller is offering. Looks like the openoffice and the gnu pdf-writer thingy people should have a word (no pun intended) with him too. It's like "Ahmed's Pizza's and cheap software". Check out his examples of gimp usage, in one of them he's obviously ripped it from someone running "Photo shop" under OS9.

Is this illegal? Who should sue him? I have no idea.

Hi,

Yes. Absolutely no problem.

He may also refuse to give you the program (and source) until you pay for it.

However, once he does give you the source, you may do what you want with it, including giving it away.

And value addition is a commercial argument, nothing to do with licencing.

Cheers,
Dave.
