[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-3571) sRGB Color Space Profile is
subject to 3rd party copyright
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3571?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15667981#comment-15667981 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------
- The ICC has free sRGB profiles [here|http://www.color.org/srgbprofiles.xalter] which we should use instead.
- CMYK is more tricky, because what we really want is [US Web Coated SWOP v2|https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/iccprofiles/icc_eula_mac_dist.html] from Adobe, but that comes with a similarly restrictive license. We opted for the ISO profile as a (close, but not exact) replacement, due to that license, but obviously we now need something else. This is essential, because PDFBox must ship with CMYK support.
