Thanks for the comprehensive reply pabs, I think all that's understood.
We'll include the source files, installer, GTK+ and GTKmm on the disc, along
with a readme which links to the relevant web pages.
Cheers

Hi Richard,
Wow, that is great that you want to distribute synfig with the Digital
Arts Magazine in the UK!
The permission for you to distribute synfig or any other GPLed software
is given by the GPL itself. To be sure about what you need to do, have
your lawyer read the GPLv2 and advise you, my understanding is that
distributing source code along with the binaries is enough (not legal
advice, I'm not a lawyer and so on)...
I'm assuming you want to distribute Windows binaries on the CD. Please
note that for that to be useful, you'd need to distribute GTKmm binaries
too, or point people at the GTKmm download site. The GTKmm installer can
auto-download a GTK installer, or you can include that on the CD too.
I think the best way for you to satisfy all licences is simply to
distribute the source code on the CD too, perhaps in a separate
directory. I'd suggest that such a directory should contain a README
file that links to these two pages:
http://wiki.synfig.com/Windows_build_instructions
http://wiki.synfig.com/Mingw_installation
In the source code directory, you'd need etl, synfig, synfigstudio and
probably openexr, gtk, gtkmm and the gtk dependencies. GTK/GTKmm,
openexr and so on are under less restrictive licences than the GPL, so
you may not need to distribute some of them in source form.
BTW, if there will be any printed mention of synfig, please write that
we need developers, we are a small community so far and also that people
should join the IRC channel for support and post bugs to the tracker.
Thanks for your interest in synfig and for promoting it like this! Be
sure to distribute version 0.61.06, since that is the latest and most
stable.
