You can use these products to sell profiles, but you must get permission
from the manufacturer for that, probably, but not assuredly, at a price
(Some of the higher priced packages might include such "usage rights").
There is a whole color management consulting industry out there that does
just that. Think of people/companies like, Bruce Fraser, Andrew Rodney, C
David Tobie, Jon Cone, Profile City, and many many more you'll find slacking
on the Colorsync list. ;-)
