Of course you can offer (constructive) criticism. But raising the same thing every time GIMP comes up goes well beyond that and is just disruptive. You need to accept that your criticism has been heard, and that it has been rejected.
And I actually agree a different name would be in the project's best interests. But I also accept that reasonable people can disagree, and that I'm not the one maintaining GIMP.

- jrm4 3y agoThat's an incredibly ridiculous sentiment; you're only allowed to express an opinion once? I absolutely fail to see the value in such a norm; sometimes good ideas need repetition. Free speech, et al, means I'm absolutely allowed to be annoying if I think it's worth it.
- arp242 3y agoI did not say "you're only allowed to express an opinion once". But please, show me a project you worked on, and I will show up to forcibly demand a change you don't want every single time the project comes up. And I will guarantee you that very quickly you will find it exceedingly tiring.
- jrm4 3y agoIt might be tiring, but I can live with that. I think my problem with your analysis here is that it's like "a personal project." It's not. It's GNU software. And to me -- choosing to use a license like that is something like taking up a mantle of freedom. You're part of something bigger, and I can't imagine that wouldn't include discussing out loud what direction the software should take.
