Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-392:
-------------------------------------------
I've found some code to replace the ICC-Profile dependency, so that this won't
be a problem anymore. It's licensed under the GPL.
> Remove or replace the ICC profiles
> ----------------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-392
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-392
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Jukka Zitting
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.8.0-incubator
>
>
> The ICC profiles in src/main/resources/Resources/colorspace-profiles are
> licensed under the Sun Binary Code License that doesn't satisfy the Open
> Source Definition and is thus can not be distributed by an Apache project.
> The ICC profiles (more accurately just the CMYK profile) are used by the
> o.a.p.pdmodel.graphics.color.PDDeviceCMYK class. Would it be possible for us
> to get the CMYK color profile from somewhere with a different license?
> Alternatively, is there some other way we could avoid using the CMYK profile
> or perhaps automatically locate and (if available) use it only in the
> runtime environment?
> In any case we need to drop the current ICC profiles from
> src/main/resources/Resources/colorspace-profiles.
