Integrating your application into OSX the way Apple recommends in a technical note to 
developers of monitor calibration software is "your installers hacking OS components"? Did 
you bother to read it? If you don't want to put anything into /Library space, why do you 
put .icc files there, without even checking if user is running with admin privileges? (I don't, 
so I had to "hack OS components" to allow everyone to write to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles 
folder so your applications would work). I've come across many of your posts while 
learning about color management, and it is obvious that you have solid knowledge of that 
subject, but on this topic, this is just plain FUD.
