@balok: I'm sorry if you think I'm nitpicking, but I'm a software developer by profession and have contributed to multiple open source projects: for me, a license violation is not in the spirit of open source. You're absolutely correct in the fact that I have no legal right when it comes to enforcing the rights of poppler/xpdf: after all, I didn't write it. All I did is request that the same yardstick that was applied to RasterFarian be applied in this case: if you disagree with that, feel free to disagree (or not) with the moderators.
@Ozne: That review is from a year ago and it was tested with comics/manga, which I don't read at all. If you think that I've spent a year in a dark cave and am now slowly knocking off my competition one-by-one, you're welcome to that thought. The moment cacapee shows up with an updated version without poppler or the source code, that theory goes down the drain [I'm hoping he does either, rather than this silence].
I'm sorry if people think I'm being jealous and obstructive: all this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If you feel that I've taken something away from you, then feel free to defeat me in the best way you can: write a better tool and make it more popular than pdflrf or PDFRead.
