Agreed for the Oyranos README.

However the Argyll_V1.1.0_src.zip package downloaded from 
www.argyllcms.com does not contain any ICC profile. Moreover I doubt 
that Argyll writes 'lcms' inside the profile as Creator.

As well the Argyll LICENSE file is incomplete.

Some profiles appear to be distributed under GPL. Users are embedding 
these ICC profiles into their own images. Thats a issue for them.

It would be good for Fedora to correct that situation. Of course Oyranos 
shall not require the shared-color-profiles package in its current form 
during installation.
