Hmm, thats maybe an good question to an lawyer. 
Anyway I dont see an reason to not use sRGB as a name if it conforms with 
the sRGB spec IEC 61966-2-1.

And thus the above sRGB profile is not from HP but from from Marti.

Marti added an profile creator function and sRGB is allways present even 
if not on disk ;-).

An application needs allways to check if there is the desired profile 
available and react if not -> create the sRGB. 

This matter is not only limited to this special profile.

As well what does you think, should Oyranos check for sRGB and eventually 
create sRGB on startup?
