    Description

      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.
