The license agreement on Creo's Profile Wizard allows consultants to give
out profiles to their clients. Printers using Profile Wizard 2.5 can give
profiles to any of their clients. The only restriction we place of the
profiles made with our software is that manufactures of equipment (inkjet
printers etc.) not bundle our profiles without our permission.
We feel that not allowing the sharing of profiles goes against the sprit of
open ICC profiles.
