Hrm, I think that supporting .pdf is not particularly pure Open
Source.  It is a proprietary format, owned by Adobe, who are
responsible for the Sk{y|l}arov fiasco.  I have seen several articles
on advocating people to use truly free and open standards, and am not
sure that one of them isn't a Stallman piece.

I only mention this because I know that there was some concern with
following strict GNU/GPL guidelines.  Perhaps this isn't an issue
after all?
