Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-08-16 14:04:47 UTC 
Upstream is tracking this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52704
Comment 2 Mikolaj Izdebski 2013-01-28 09:25:29 UTC 
Upstream hasn't done much about this issue. Moreover, their proposed solutions are unacceptable for Fedora. The first one was adding an exception to ship non-free profile (which they already did in a similar case of pdfbox) or to unbundle the profile from their distribution tarball and let anyone that wants to compile or use fop to download the non-free profile separately.

Because this issue is important I would suggest not to wait for upstream to resolve this, but instead replace non-free color profile with a free one.

There are some free profiles available. Debian ships a collection of zlib-licensed profiles (package icc-profiles-free) and Argyll Color Management System provides color profiles under AGPL.
