Not only is it free enough for non-free, it's free enough for main! Package: xpdf [...] Filename: pool/main/x/xpdf/xpdf_2.00-1_all.deb Furthermore: /usr/share/doc/xpdf/copyright: Xpdf is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2. In my opinion, the GPL is a convoluted, confusing, ambiguous mess. But it's also pervasive, and I'm sick of arguing. And even if it is confusing, the basic idea is good. Please do not frighten people with demonstrably false predictions about the impact of this GR. If negative editorializing about the GPL is enough to make a package non-free, main is in a lot of trouble! :) -- G.
