Jukka Zitting commented on PDFBOX-392:
--------------------------------------
I removed the troublesome ICC profiles in revision 723183.
This change breaks the PDDeviceCMYK class. To make it work, a user needs to
explicitly place the CMYK.pf file in the classpath or file system at
Resources/colorspace-profiles/CMYK.pf.
Unless someone has a better idea on how to fix this, I suggest that we simply
resolve this issue as fixed for 0.8.0 and include a warning about the change in
the release notes.

> 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.
