You will attach the brushes here, won't you?

This will be a fine addition even to standard GIMP when the idea of categories 
for brushes, patterns, palettes and fonts that has been discussed in the devel 
list gets implemented. 

Gosh, now we will be able to have brush cursors for cursor brushes.  What will
they think of next? :-)

Wouldn't it be better to increase the brush spacing to around 100?  Currently, the
brushes have their default spacing set to 10, which leads to ugly artifacts.  Even
if these brushes will not be used often for drawing continuous lines, it would be
better to ensure that they look reasonably good in that case.  100 looks better.

One thing to keep in mind is that the brushes are licensed under the GPL, so
their use in non-GPL images is problematic (which is one of the reasons why it
is not advised to license other things than source code under it, btw).

Using a brush doesn't make the image a derived work. Just as using a GPL
application to draw an image doesn't make that license apply to the image.

Brushes with spacing set to 100

These brushes are not generic enough to be included in the vanilla GIMP install.  Someone could pick these up for the separate gimp-data-extras package though perhaps... But since no one is maintaining that I don't see the point in keeping this bug report open. Closing as WONTFIX.

I'm cool with reopening this when there is a patch attached against gimp-data-extras that adds these resources along with tags for them btw.
