Bug#786946: lintian: false positive: icc-profiles *are* free
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.31
Severity: important
Dear all,
while building TeX Live package I got warned by lintian that the
ICC profile
sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc
is unfree, and lintian helpfully related me to the package
icc-profiles
(in Debugs-CC header).
Now checking the copyright file of icc-profiles and the *actual*
copyright statement on the download page:
http://www.color.org/profiles2.xalter
states clearly:
**************************
Licensing
The copyright owner and terms of use of an ICC profile are normally identified in the Creator field in the profile header and in the Copyright tag. Where ICC is the copyright owner, the following license terms apply:
"This profile is made available by the International Color Consortium, and may be copied, distributed, embedded, made, used, and sold without restriction. Altered versions of this profile shall have the original identification and copyright information removed and shall not be misrepresented as the original profile."
***************************
On the other hand, the icc-profiles package lists the copyright in a
different form:
*******************
Files: sRGB_* ISO22028*
Copyright: International Color Consortium <icc_users@lists.color.org>
License: ICC
To anyone who acknowledges that the files
"sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_no_black_scaling.icc" and
"sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black scaled.icc" are provided "AS IS" WITH NO
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, permission to use, copy and distribute
these file for any purpose is hereby granted without fee, provided
that the files are not changed including the ICC copyright notice
tag, and that the name of ICC shall not be used in advertising or
publicity pertaining to distribution of the software without
specific, written prior permission. ICC makes no representations
about the suitability of this software for any purpose.
******************************
I would therefor suggest two steps:
* first move the ICC profiles to
icc-profiles-free
* remove the lintian error
Thanks
Norbert
