Re: [Digital BW] Re: ABW ICC Profiles

Roy. If you are reading this, let me know. I'd be willing to charge a  
nominal fee that we could work out per profile to keep your revenue  
stream up. What-ever is good for all of us and you. I don't want to  
make a profit on it, but if you need money per profile (because you  
spent labor creating the program) I'm sure everyone here would be  
willing to put a bit of money down to send to you.

The whole project is for the photographic community at large as far as  
I see it.

In that regard, how do paper manufactures build/distribute their ICCs  
for free? They aren't paying license fees to xrite are they? Those  
costs are extremely large, no? They would have to pay license fees if  
they were selling the profiles . . . .  This has been talked over in  
the past, so I will read through the archives.

Any suggestions on the legality of this would be nice. I can put a  
clause up on-line as well if that is wanted.

take care,
Walker
