The Krita Sketch binaries will cost no money (that was a requirement from \
Intel). We will only make the "official" binaries available through appup. \
We cannot prevent anyone from creating binaries and offering them for \
download somewhere else, but I'm happy with using appup since that's a \
one-stop place for installers that are guaranteed virus-free.

Krita is GPL :-). Fortunately, because I'm Intel otherwise might have \
wanted the code to be kept closed. So all the code will go into the \
calligra repository, all the fixes and improvements will also be in the \
"regular" krita release.
