The number of folks saying there's no way the name 'GIMP' ever stopped anyone from using or contributing to it is extraordinary.
I have *never* been in an office that has allowed me to install GIMP. Never. I have never even been able to get past the sniff of a pitch about GIMP.
Because of the name.
The level of disconnect people have with basic reality is refreshing. What is their world like?
