Another email about profiles (sorry!), just a different licence this time.

I want to ship the official ICC sRGB profiles available here in
Fedora: http://www.color.org/srgbprofiles.xalter

This states:

Suitable for Fedora or one for rpmfusion? Thanks.

Richard.

rpmfusion. It refers to itself as software, but does not grant
permission to modify. Not a Free license.

Do you think the ICC would be open to adjusting their license? Can't
hurt to try...

I have no idea, but I agree, it would not hurt to try. Richard, if you
want me to send an email (and you can find the appropriate person), I
would be willing to try, or you can try on your own.

I would imagine they would be very receptive to the idea.

The only contact information I can find is
[e-mail] -- If it's okay with you I would
prefer the email came from you guys (as fedora-legal) as I would not
be sure what to exactly request or how to argue the case for changes
required.

Thanks,

Richard.
