+<h2>GIMP</h2>
+
+<h3>Description</h3>
+
+<p>GIMP stands for “GNU Image Manipulation Program”,
+a self-explanatory name for an application that processes digital
+graphics and is part of the GNU Project, meaning that it follows the GNU
+standards and is released under the
+<a href="/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html">GNU General
+Public License</a>, version 3 or later, to ensure maximum protection of
+users' freedom. It can be used both as a simple tool for basic painting
+and drawing and as a powerful program for complex tasks such as advanced
+photo retouching, digital image composition, editing and animation, as
+well as authoring of original art. Apart from the usual features
+included in similar programs, GIMP displays an array of highly
+sophisticated options aimed at computer graphics professionals. It is
+also multi-platform, and it handles a wide range of formats plus format
+conversion.</p>

+Website</a></p>
+
+<h3>Who's Using It and How</h3>
+
+<p>The GIMP is used by a large number of artists, amateurs, Web
+developers, educators. At school it is a handy tool that assists students
+and teachers in the preparation of graphic materials for slides, handouts,
+the school's Web site or bulletin and similar projects.</p>
+
+<p>French artist Isabel Saij describes how she uses GIMP for
+<a href="http://www.saij-copyleft2.net/fragments/fragments1.html";>her
+work</a>:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>“It's a program I use for different works: photo manipulation
+(mixing images together), drawings (my 'digital fragments' in relation
+to my 'real fragments' made on paper), teaching to teenagers, preparing
+images for video, etc.). In other words, one of my favorite
programs.”</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>There are many interesting examples of how this program is put to use
+by professionals and amateurs alike to effectively bring to life their
+ideas without giving up their freedom as computer users. Among those,
+there is one that goes beyond the ordinary.</p>
+
+<h4 id="Mani">How GIMP changed Mani's life.</h4>
+
+<p>Mani began his journey towards liberation from social constraints as
+an enthusiastic and talented teenager. His awareness and commitment to
+freedom led him to actively participate in the formation of a <a
+href="/education/edu-cases-india-ambedkar.html">grassroots volunteer
+group</a> in 2007, with the goal of introducing computer knowledge in
+his slum area in Bangalore through the use of freedom-respecting
+software. This brought sustained improvement to his community and
+ultimately a radical turn in his own life.</p>
+
+<p>The group set up a Free Software computer lab in the slum dwelling and
+Mani learned fast, becoming a teacher himself to help his peers develop
+better skills in the use of the various applications. He soon acquired a
+mastery of the advanced techniques of GIMP, and, combining technical
+knowledge with innate artistic abilities, he produced graphical art that
+he exhibited and sold. The following three-minutes video portrays Mani's
+endeavor to learn Free Software.</p>

+
+<p>At the time of writing (March 2012) Mani is a student of Computer
+Science in Bangalore. He says:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p> “First I need to say thanks to the Free Software movement, it
+allowed me to start learning GIMP. It was my first achievement in life,
+and I sold many paintings at a Free Software conference. Later I started
+displaying my works in many conferences. Because of GIMP, my painting
+skills are brought out to the world. As you know, our talents are usually
+ignored by the world. Our aims in the community are: to share software
+and knowledge, to learn from each other; to promote the Free Software
+ethical values and raise awareness about the importance of software
+freedom in a marginalized social environment; to empower the poor with
+computer knowledge. We want to replicate our model, we are already
+running three computer centers in other slums in the area.” </p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Richard Stallman's comment on this case:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p class="center"><strong>“I am more proud that GNU has
+been adopted by Indian Dalits than of its use by famous
+corporations.”</strong></p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<h3>Why</h3>
+
+<p>The interests of nonfree software developers are at odds with the
+needs of users from all segments of society, given that they deny basic
+human values such as collaboration and sharing. Proprietary software
+companies deem irrelevant to their profit goals the damage that their
+policies cause to users of their products.</p>
+
+<p>In complex social structures such as that of India, exclusion of the
+underprivileged from access to information technologies is just one of
+the multiple instances of discrimination this sector of society faces at
+many levels: healthcare, housing, education, employment, to name a few.
+Over time, these vulnerable groups have attained a high degree of
+awareness about the importance of mutual collaboration, a basic human
+value often forgotten or even dismissed among the educated and affluent
+spheres of society in all cultures. The principles of sharing and
+reciprocal concern are deeply rooted in these communities and constitute
+valuable assets in their struggle for survival. The social bond among
+its members is solid and strong, a bulwark against the incursion of
+additional sources of exclusion.</p>
+
+<p>In that scenario, the introduction of proprietary software would not
+be accepted by these socially committed people since that would result
+in the imposition of further restrictions on them as computer users.
+They would not refrain from installing the software in as many computers
+as needed or use it as they please, they would not give up their right
+to access knowledge by studying how computer programs work, they would
+not sign away their right to modify or distribute the programs and,
+above all, they would not give up their right to share copies with their
+neighbors. All of these freedoms are granted to them only by
+<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free Software</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The restrictions imposed on users by proprietary software developers
+serve to attack other layers of society as well, specially the upper
+spending classes, since those are their main target. Artists and computer
+graphics professionals often get trapped in perpetual dependency from a
+company that may decide at any moment to discontinue the product if it is
+not profitable any longer; or it may decide to introduce updates that run
+only on specific platforms —most likely nonfree. So users have no
+choice but to keep the old version of the program or else invest in a new
+operating system.</p>
+
+<p>Isabel Saij explains why she decided to break free from the trap by
+adopting Free Software:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p> “With proprietary programs the artist is at the mercy of the
+software development company. Early in 2003 I used LiveMotion to design
+my digital 2D and 3D works with interactive pieces. Later that year the
+company decided to discontinue it so I was left without support for a
+piece of software on which I had spent my money and my time to learn how
+to use it. Moreover, whenever proprietary software developers decide to
+introduce new functionalities, you have to buy an update which often runs
+on the latest versions of proprietary operating systems only. So you are
+stuck in a vicious circle completely helpless. Itâs frustrating and
+thereâs nothing you can do about it. With Free Software, good projects
+never die due to the community being able to access the code. Someone
+else can come along and continue developing the software.”</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>The introduction of Free Software in the slum removed the barriers
+that prevented this marginalized sector of society from accessing
+knowledge in the field of information technology. It provided these
+people with the opportunity to unfold innate capabilities that would
+otherwise have never come to surface. This newly discovered intellectual
+richness brings benefit and progress not only to the involved individuals
+themselves and to the local community but to society as a whole, since
+they have learned how to overcome the detrimental effects of unjust
+global economic policies and are now ready for a productive life.</p>
+
+<p>With Free Software, users received all the benefits of digital
+education without being constrained to compromise their principles. The
+ethical values of Free Software are in line with and sustain those
+principles: not only were people free to use the software as they wished,
+install it in as many machines as they wished, but they were encouraged
+to copy it and share it with their neighbors in solidarity. Mani has
+become an artist using GIMP and a student of Computer Science; by now,
+he has acquired enough knowledge to study the source code and to modify
+it to meet the needs of his community, if necessary. Software freedom
+results in redistribution of intellectual and economic wealth, which is
+not possible where access to knowledge is restricted.</p>
+
+<p>In less disadvantaged contexts, users of GIMP have benefited from
+software freedom in many ways. They are no longer subject to arbitrary
+decisions by proprietary software companies; instead, they belong to a
+large and strong community where developers do care about their needs and
+fellow users provide additional support. Apart from the official manuals
+and tutorials, enthusiastic users publish lots of instructional materials
+and, due to the availability of the source code, those with programming
+skills have contributed a number of plug-ins to enhance the performance
+of the application.</p>
+
+<p>As a free program under the GNU GPL version 3 or later, no arbitrary
+decision by developers can ever stop the advancement of GIMP nor can
+the program be made proprietary.</p>
