The point where the GPL is used as a club to prevent people from
reusing free[1] software in other projects is the point where
everyone should reject the GPL and rerelease all their source
under a different and freer license.
If the GIMP's authors don't want people to reuse their source code
under the provisions of the GPL, they should not have released
their code under the GPL.
