Before packaging fpdf I talked with the author about this, and he told
me to read FAQ#1:

1. What's exactly the license of FPDF? Are there any usage restrictions?
FPDF is Freeware (it is stated at the beginning of the source file).
There is no usage restriction. You may embed it freely in your
application (commercial or not), with or without modification. You may
redistribute it, too.
