[Openicc] GoSoC 2011: opensource and ICC licenses

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/OpenIcc#Profilesforstandardprintconditionandtheirlicences

Typical I licenced under zlib/libpng but would like to converge slowly
with the license used on the ICC site which is very liberal.

kind regards
