You can even see the word "GIMP" clearly in their screenshot!
Clearly "spam" is the first word that comes to my mind when I see their website. It's like a collection of HTML e-mail messages I receive in my "spam" folder grouped together as a website!

Originally posted by BajaNick I was cruising around the blender website and saw this article: http://www.blender.org/modules.php?o...rder=0&thold=0
Then I goto the Luxuriousity website, http://www.luxuriousity.com/
and enlarge some of the pics and they are clearly selling the gimp and other open source software as their own software, this is bull****.
I dont think its illegal to sell it, but to sell it under their name is clearly fraudulent and dishonest but the name of the company and the person that receives payment is in the contact info and at the bottom of the pages it says 100% money back, if not satified. This is so funny bacause its so blatant. .
