Indeed.  I also hope this establishes some sort of QA.  So far, we
could not check anything.

Last time I checked (i.e., before the cloud), one could download ACR
freely and extract it.  In it, there were XML files with the
profiles.  Of course, one is not allowed to use them for LensFun,
but *cough* it would all happen in the private area.  (Well, as
private as it can be nowadays.)

There is another thing: LCP files are submitted by private persons
to Adobe granting a "non-exclusive" licence.  In other words, the
persons may submit their data to LensFun, too (IANAL).  As far as I
see it, we could post to an Adobe forum the plea for submitting all
the profiles on private harddisks also to LensFun.  This message
might not be very popular amoungst the forum admins, though.

And last but not least, the program to generate LCP profiles is
freely available to Windows users.  So they could contribute to
LensFun using a convenient tool.

Yes me.  :-/

Tschö,
