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.
