There's an article on The Register about it [1], which includes a helpful link to the archived threads [2].

A quote from the article:

> "I have, on two occasions now, recommended this program to photography and graphic design educators (as an alternative to Photoshop) who told me that they considered it and found it good as software but weren't permitted by their institution to use it in the classroom because of the name."
