poppler contains modified XPDF code (which is GPL), but doesn't comply
to the GPL:

-------
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-------

E.g. Dict.h has nothing of a, but is clearly changed. You haven't even
changed the copyright notice... :-)
