toe_head2001 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 ImageSoft is a program that comes with ReactOS. As you can see, it looks similar to Paint.net v2.x. However, the functionality is rather poor. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

PdN is released under the MIT license, which makes it free software. They're perfectly within their rights to do that, so long as it's released under the same license.

usedHONDA Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 This is really just the authors trying to port Paint.NET to their emulated operating system. Nothing to worry about*, as it's just like how the Mono guys are porting PDN into Linux. *But the name change may be illegal EDIT: Though I would applaud them if they would be able to successfully port PDN to ROS without the use of a framework.

I Like Pi Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Nope. PdN is released under the MIT license, which makes it free software. They're perfectly within their rights to do that, so long as it's released under the same license.I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have to be released under the same license, so long as the original license is included.Specifically, it is a GPL-compatible permissive license, meaning that it permits reuse within proprietary software on the condition that the license is distributed with that software. david - GPL is much less permissive than MIT.

david.atwell Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 It looks like a fairly big undertaking, anyway...removing PdN from the .NET framework? Sounds like it would be tough...

Myrddin Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 At least they have mentioned their inspiration as PDN and even linked to it at the bottom (first on the list of links). Admittedly, this project is very much less underhand than some of the other instances of 'inspiration' from PDN (remember that dude who was selling a lesser version on eBay?).

HITMAN-X- Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 There trying to do what is hoped for down the road. That would be to get rid of .NET so Paint.NET could do way more then it can now. I also belive the icons are not by Rick or Paint.NET and are for free on a website out on the web that does icon packs. I to would like a Linux version of Paint.NET done. I like to see a Linux and a Mac version of Paint.NET done so that way Paint.NET is free for all Major OS's out there. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The icons are from the site, sure; but look at the arrangement. I think that's what we were mostly talking about.
