Jim,

This isn't accurate.  QuadToneRIP is NOT GPL nor on sourceforge.  Only the
gimp-print parts are GPL and free.  The most significant piece of QTR
is the profile and curves creation part.  This code is entirely separate
from
the gimp-print part and entirely my code and copyright.   It is NOT free;
it is shareware that requires you to pay after trying it out as a demo.

Regards,
Roy
