What's up with added EXIF data by gThumb ?

Make a screen shot of your desktop
Check with a viewer and see no EXIF data
Load it in gThumb to use its crop feature, crop and save
Check again with a viewer and see that gThumb added EXIF data including the gThumb version

In the mean time I’ve started to use other software to crop screen shots but I am still puzzled why gThumb always adds EXIF data ?
