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.
