My understanding is that this issue isn't profiling the grays per se,
but rather that the correction that the printer/inkset/paper requires
has more kinks in it than the profiling software can suss out.  It
effects printing with the color inks too, it's just a subtle enough
thing that it's only obvious in the grays.  I'll mention the licensing
issue to him, but I'm pretty sure he's rolling his own.
