Does their licence allow us to re-use their code?

The original reporter (timie@proffa.cc.tut.fi) of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the exporter, debbugs-export@bugzilla.gnome.org. Reassigning to the default owner of the component, egger@suse.de.
Some time ago, I downloaded a WBMP plug-in written by Yu Gin Ng. (yugin@eudoramail.com) This plug-in is not listed in registry.gimp.org, although I thought that I got it from there. Unfortunately, the plug-in was written for gimp 1.0.4 and it does not work with the latest version of the Gimp. It saves an invalid wbmp file that cannot be re-opened by any program, including the plug-in itself. Maybe you should get in touch with the author at the address mentioned above and ask him if he has an updated version available.
Re-assigning all Gimp bugs to default component owner (Gimp bugs list)
Reassigned to current CVS because it's a wishlist item.
Changes at the request of Dave Neary on the developer mailing list. I am changing many of the bugzilla reports that have not specified a target milestone to Future milestone. Hope that is acceptable.
Is this actually something we still want? wbmp is a pretty straightforward format, and providing such a plug-in wouldn't be that difficult, but the question is: does it belong in the GIMP distribution? Personnaly I think not, so therefore I'm going to close this report :)
Yes, we still want wbmp support in gimp! :)
Gimp# (gimp-sharp, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-sharp) has a plug-in that can read wbmp files. Writing wmbp is almost trivial, but still work in progress.
Pntus, sorry but it doesn't work that way. What would work is if you said, look guys, I have written this WBMP plug-in for GIMP, would you mind including it with the next release?
