[Openicc] colord 0.1.6 released!

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello list, Richard and Graeme,
I think, that direct support of measuremnts equipment makes a lot of 
sense for a LINUX colormanagement framework.

Graeme, could you imagine to make the ArgyllCMS code for support of 
measuremnt instruments available to colord / Oyranos ?

question to the LINUX geeks:
I think dealing with measurements instruments under LINUX is comparable 
with dealing with graohic cards. Is there an example avilable, where a 
vendor for graphics cards changed his licensing policy to open source 
drivers and sells more graphic cards to the LINUX community ?

Background of my question is the communication with X-Rite. I think if 
we can provide examples, that a more open licensing politic leads 
increases the amount of sold units, this will help much to solve the 
ongoing problems with support for X-Rite instruments under LINUX.

best regards
Jan-Peter
