Free Gimp.app pulled
Gimp.app is a self-contained Mac OS X application bundle of the X11-based GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), a free open source graphics editor. The project is hosted on SourceForge and is based on free open source code, but was commercialized by OpenOSX & MacGimp.org and the free version pulled.
OpenOSX sells their GIMP 2 CD for $30 or $25 to download. MacGIMP.org sells their version for $79. It’s still possible to install a free version of GIMP with fink, although it isn’t packaged as a double-clickable application. All 3 versions require Apple’s X11.

The free version was not “pulled” because other commercialized on GIMP. It was puller for various other reasons.

Actually, i’ve downloaded the completely free “Gimp.app” at least seven times this year already from http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net without any problems, in fact, it’s downloading as i type this.
