[Openicc] [Fwd: icm profiles in debian]

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Hello Edmund,

here is the link to the first bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657281

When you read the copyright citation there, you will notice that this is 
basically a v1 ICC license, which in turn is mentioned as inacceptable 
for Debain. The sRGB profiles from the www.color.org site use that v1 
ICC license.

v2 of the ICC license is now better compatible with Debian license 
rules. But very few profiles are available under this license.
