Well, in fact they might not have done so. The whole duokan isn't a single piece of software but a distribution. Some of the software distributed is GPL'ed. But the core of Duokan itself might be an application that is not based on existing GPL code.

That said, I have my doubts about this as well since I'm not aware of a free-as-in-not-GPLed (sorry, little joke) PDF rendering library. There's the issue of linking to (otherwise unmodified) GPL code, which is imposing the GPL on the linking application.

But it's not as easy as spotting some GPL programs within the Duokan *distribution*.
