I found out that the GIMP 2 has been released. I am going to update my Linux machines soon with this release, but I also wanted to find a packaged Windows executable to load on some other machines. I went to WinGIMP.com. Big mistake. WinGIMP is selling 'packaged versions of GIMP 2 for Windows for $79.95! There has never been a time when I thought charging for a CD or packaged version of GNU software was inappropriate, but $79.95??? I was thinking $4.95 or some other reasonable price, but this is not good. WinGIMP is also offering an 'upgrade' for $29.95 and other package pricing. For a while now, I have noticed this site selling GIMP, and that is fine, but who would pay this amount of money?

What do you guys think about this?
