Scribus is GPL, right? Does that CMM involve linking (even indirectly)
to it? If yes then that is problem. Even more since Scribus use Qt....

But with the comment above, if its license is non compatible GPL
applications like Krita and The Gimp won't be able to use it.

Note: nobody would be prevented to install it anyway, it is
redistributing it within a distribution or something....

Just think about it. Licensing still take an important part of the
decision process.

Now if Adobe wants to release that software under a license that is GPL
compatible, why not :-)
