[Openicc] Open Source compatible AdobeRGB profile

[almccart at lexmark.com]

Kai-Uwe,

When you or Graeme builds the compatibleWithAdobeRGB.icc profile, I suggest testing
it with lots of images to compare it to the Adobe profile.  It is OK to 
build it to get matching results.
However, note that the currently widespread AdobeRGB 1998 profile is a 
version 2 profile.  The 
version 4 profile is still on the drawing board. So it might be worthwhile 
to coordinate with folks in the 
ICC who are planning to build the Version 4.  Version 2 color space 
profiles had only one color
conversion path. Version 4 color space profiles have the multiple color 
conversion paths like 
printer profiles and scanner profiles.

So you did not get the point. What I suggest is to create a own profile,
compatibleWithAdobeRGB.icc, from the above by Adobe published spec. If 
Graeme is more quick, than take these. compatibleWithAdobeRGB.icc will be
includeed in the Oyranos profile collection package to make it available 
at /usr/share/color/icc on linux systems.

compatibleWithAdobeRGB.icc profile should indeed be free and will NOT 
follow the Adobe license model. It is NOT ideentical with "Adobe RGB 
(1998).icc".

Hope this helps clearing.

As long as distributions have problems with Adobe license, this would be a 

workaround.
