    "Gimp Splash 10". That sounds like a movie you don't want your girlfriend finding under your couch.

      For me especially, because my girlfriend would probably tell my wife.

    Sorry to see the contest ending. I was about to fire up Photoshop and make a cool logo for Gimp. Oh well, there's always the next contest.

    Shareware limitation. The plugin for Photoshop that generates the gauge is made to produce incorrect increments when it is not registered.

    Either that or it's a metaphor, implying that in Year 1 (i.e. 0-1) not much was accomplished with respect to its functionality, and developers decided to put it behind them and forget it ever happened.

    I happen to believe the third theory, in which the artist who produced this artwork is making a social commentary on the existential nature of open source software.

    The plugin used to generate the gauge was written in C, and has an off-by-one error.
