Bug#786946: contradictory license term for icc profile on your web sit
control: tags -1 + upstream
Dear phil
Some file on your website seems to have contradictory license terms:
On http://www.color.org/profiles2.xalter you said:
> 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."
>ICC recommends that other profile creators and copyright owners adopt a similar wording for
>profiles that are intended to be freely distributed. See the Profile Registration page for more details.
However on http://www.color.org/srgbprofiles.xalter you said:
>To anyone who acknowledges that the file "sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black scaled.icc" is 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 file is 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.
Could you document clearly what is the license term of individual file ?

PS: in order to include only once the license term on your website you
could use jquery
like this
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$("#includedContent").load("b.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="includedContent"></div>
</body>
</html>
