Jose and all, I feel I should note here that in the xpdf 3.03 release, Derek has changed the licensing to GPLv2 | GPLv3.
However, since that is still not GPLv2+ (or GPLv3+), I see no way for GNU PDF to use any code from there, still, because of the possibility of a GPLv4 someday. Unless you want to approach rms for a dispensation. Best, Karl
