I was hoping to find a similar loophole so we can ask the moderators to re-enable the link. However when I dug into the license I found the following.
(Clarification PDFLRF uses poppler not (xpdf) so we have to look at poppler license.)
This is found on the readme.
Code:
Please note that xpdf, and thus poppler, is licensed under the GPL,
not the LGPL. Consequently, any application using poppler must also
be licensed under the GPL. If you want to incorporate Xpdf based PDF
rendering in a closed source product, please contact Glyph & Cog
(www.glyphandcog.com) for commercial licensing options.

Since PLDFLRF is not GPL it is violating the license agreement. Had the authors of poppler used (LGPL) there would not have been an issue.
