Hi all.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We got a report today of the missing sRGB Profile, when processing</div>
<div class="">a document using pdfx.sty .</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So we need to finalise this.</div>
<div class="">I’ve started to work on a revised package, but it means:</div>
<div class="">* including an sRGB profile, and </div>
<div class="">* adjusting pdfx.sty for the new default name.</div>
<div class="">* revising some documentation.<br class="">

<div>Nice and simple, but how do I get the file?</div>
<div>It’s from a Linux distribution. I’m on MacOS.</div>

</div>
<div>Aaah, here it is: <a href="http://www.argyllcms.com/sRGB.icm" class="">http://www.argyllcms.com/sRGB.icm</a></div>
<div>but where is a simple License statement to be found?</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>An alternative is from ICC, with Licence:</div>

<div><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9.727999687194824px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">"This profile is made available by the International Color Consortium, and may be copied, distributed, embedded,
made, used, and sold without restriction. Altered versions of this profile shall have the original identification and copyright information removed and shall not be misrepresented as the original profile."</span></div>
<br class="">
<a href="http://www.color.org/srgbprofiles.xalter#v2" class="">http://www.color.org/srgbprofiles.xalter#v2</a></div>
<div>It downloads as sRGB2014.icc when you click: “accept licensing terms”</div>
<div>The actual URL is <a href="http://www.color.org/profiles/sRGB2014.icc" class="">http://www.color.org/profiles/sRGB2014.icc</a> .<br class="">
<br class="">
So I can go with this straight away, if that’s acceptable to everyone.</div>

I don't have personally prefer one sRGB profile over another. Since<br class="">
that website makes a careful investigation and reasoned argument, it<br class="">
is better than no data at all, so why not go with that one then.<br class="">

<div>Yeah, but I couldn’t find a licence that clearly applied just to the color Profile.</div>
<div>The whole Argyll CMS system is under</div>
<div> GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</div>
<div>which probably does allow us to take just a single file.</div>
<div>But I don’t really want to include all of that, when a couple of sentences suffices.</div>
