<pre>I'm unsure which open source license applies to poppler. The README specifies
GPL without a version:
Please note that xpdf, and thus poppler, is licensed under the GPL,
not the LGPL. Consequently, any application using poppler must also
be licensed under the GPL.
Additionally, README-XPDF specifies GPL v2 or GPL v3, but:
Please note that Xpdf is NOT licensed under "any later version" of the
GPL, as I have no idea what those versions will look like.
However, most of the files in the poppler/ folder contain "GPL v2 or later"
file headers, for example poppler/Annot.cc:
// All changes made under the Poppler project to this file are licensed
// under GPL version 2 or later
So it is clearly some variation of the GPL, but which one?</pre>
