Distribution of Adobe DNG files, commercial or otherwise

[LPowell]

Is anyone here informed on Adobe's legal policies on distribution of DNG files produced by Adobe DNG Profile Editor? When producing custom DNG files specific to a particular camera model, you make use of the camera's base profile, which is software provided and copyrighted by Adobe. I would assume that any custom DNG file produced this way would be considered a derived work covered by the original Adobe copyright. Does Adobe grant a license to users of Adobe DNG Profile Editor to redistribute custom DNG files without violation of copyright?

Yes, but I want to create customized versions of the camera profiles that Adobe has provided.

I doubt adobe would care...

You can use a free command line utility Dcptool to convert a dng profile to a xml file, and vice versa. From the xml you can see all the parameters in the adobe profiles.

Further to that, I discovered this very day that ExifToolGUI can list all the settings in a .dcpr recipe file, FWIW
