Interestingly enough ... I'd really love to see OS level professional
grade color management for Linux.  That may do a better job of getting
the platform respectable than many other things.  The corporations who
write software do however have a legitimate concern about the GPL
licensing scheme poisoning their code base.   These people make a
living from their intellectual property.  If they have to worry about
releasing the source for their private work ... it's a totaly
understandable problem from my point of view.

You actually CAN use fully profiled displays and printers in Linux at
the moment on a handful of programs ... its just somewhat difficult
and unfortunately not user friendly at all.
