A lot of Microsoft-oriented developers still don’t understand the free software movement, and have been trying to twist it into something they can comprehend since it started four decades ago.

afaik mmW is FR2

5G FR1 is sub x-band microwave

-GIMP is freeware.

did you source that from the GIMP documentation? because it very much appears you didn’t. (please link to the direct quote if i’m wrong).

in contrast my quote comes directly from page 4 of their own PDF User Manual which very clearly states:

The GIMP is not freeware

personally i’ll go with what GIMP says in their own manual. you’re welcome to believe whatever thing you wish - enjoy.

edit: it just occurred to me you may not be a native english speaker, in which case i apologise. “typically not” means it usually doesn’t happen.

For anyone who’s wondering (from the GIMP manual)

The GIMP is not freeware

GIMP er ikkje såkalla “freeware”

El GIMP no es freeware

GIMP non è freeware

GIMP n’est pas un freeware

when you feel up to reading the word after “typically” feel free to modify the attitude

open source won the battle. now the corporations hope to win the war.

meanwhile, the corporations can then throw their ample resources at steering things towards their selfish objectives

freecad is actually getting fucking good for the price
