And that's the point here too -- releasing the library under the GPL is an incentive for application developers (and other library developers, FWIW) to release their work under the GPL. I am not a GNU PDF maintainer/developer so my opinion is by definition not authoritative, but I hope (and believe) that this library will never be relicensed under a weak copyleft license such as LGPL. (BTW, poppler is GPL too -- but sadly "v2 only", which is one of the reasons of GNU PDF's inception.) > > What are those libraries and programs btw? > > libraries used by the Enlightenment windows manager There is no problem to link an application (e.g. a PDF viewer) against GNU PDF and Enlightenment libraries, provided that you release the application under GPLv3.
