I've already explained this on the UFRaw forums:
"So if UFRaw doesn't do gamma correction (gamma 1 = no correction), then the
profile will do the full correction"
"But please note... A profile will always do gamma correction! Since
it always tries to
match the values in the reference file. However, if your image is
already gamma corrected,
the corrections done by the profile will the negligible... "
