I love coffee.

I love it in fact so much, that I created a coffee beans brush for GIMP.
You can buy a commercial license for the ridiculous low prize of 1,50$ at DeviantArt.

If you are interested, I can submit a coffee powder brush as well.

In this post, I previously expressed concerns about relevance to freely licensed art. Here they are:

Hi,

Since you most likely do not allow buyers to take apart an image created with the brush and create a coffee beans brush from it and sell it on deviantArt, then you impose restrictions that are incompatible with free licenses. Thus this brush can only be used for freely licensed art, if the part created by the brush could not be reverse-engineered into a similar brush. Otherwise each work created with it would need to carry the note "you may not create a brush from the coffee beans", which is an additional restriction and adding restrictions to free licenses is illegal.

As a consequence, this brush is irrelevant to this community.

Thoughts?

This part is not stated in the license. I could not control it anyway (how to see if a work was created with a non-pirated brush?). If there is any loss in money, by piracy, I'll need to accept it.

To sum up: The problem you pointed out, does not apply to the brush. Therefore the shown brush is relevant to the community.

If there's no restriction on what can be done with the brush, including reverse engineering it, I don't see where there's a problem.  Carry on. :)
