Tim, Austin,

I have to admit I am just going on what I have been told by others who
queried ColorVision about their ProfilerPro packages. I believe C.D. Tobie
posted the same awhile back. I gather that if it is in the license you agree
to when you buy the software it is binding as a private contract. I am
certainly no lawyer though nor do I wish to be a test case.

I gather you can enter into licensing agreements and for a fee sell or
distribute profiles you make but at a steep price.

ProfilerPro creates an icm file from spectrophotometer readings and while
not good enough to print with they are very nice for on screen proofing.
