I'd feel bad supporting and being associated with a SW that's violating GPL. - Does the program serve commercial ads and could there be anything "risky" for the user related to that. - Might the program be uploading "telemetry" now or in the future? - ? The last two aspects relates to the company's business model now, as well as in the future. Note that I don't know anything about Master PDF, they might be above board (today) when it comes to all of these aspects. Perhaps we should simply ask them (Master PDF) these questions?
