[Openicc] Open Source compatible AdobeRGB profile

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello list,
I´m not a distribution an licensing specialist.
But if the Adobe profiles would be included into LINUX-distributions, we 
have two advantages:
- there would be one place for icc-profiles on system level, where every 
application can use it.
- there is no need to integrate the profiles on installers on 
application level. This avoids installing standard icc-profiles on 
different directories for each application.

My question:
Can anybody give some informations, if there are actual LINUX 
distributions, which already have the Adobe profiles included ?
