Not sure why I can't reply to you loup-vaillant but here it is:
Do you mean the "funding" (more like "income") that Adobe generates by selling their software instead of giving the source code away?

Replies are rate-limited. The deeper the thread, the longer the down time. There might be other criteria.
I mean the income that Adobe extracts from their customers. The only thing they generated in this case is Photoshop itself. This nitpicking aside, yes, that's what I was talking about.

Surely GIMP could copy those tools, as well as any missing functionality?
Couldn't the funding that currently goes to Adobe be devoted to further the development of GIMP instead?
However, my Photoshop inclined friends would experience the absence of the liquify and Refine Edge tool as an inhibition of their desire to reach their goal (the image they have in mind). In that sense, Photoshop is an enabler for their wishes, Photoshop gives them the freedom to make what they want.
