This is what I find frustrating the most about people trying to sell free software without giving it is proper due. http://www.thinkall.com/product_image_over8.htm Well at least this site calls it the GIMP

This is what I find frustrating the most about people trying to sell free software without giving it is proper due.

So long as they provide the source code and follow the conditions of the GPL they have "given it its proper due".

Since the name is unchanged and their version of gimp is apparently unmodified they are in fact providing free advertising and helping promote Free Software.

They should be encouraged for their efforts.

Google for "Manay Software", have a closer look at the first few results, then check this company's Terms Uf Use.

It does seem to just barely fall within the bounds of charging a "modest" fee for shipping and handling, but looking at the details that does seem rather sleazy.

The true answer may be to help promote projects like theOpenCd or Ubuntu which come much closer to providing a genuinely free CD.
