with this mail I forward you the answer of the author of llpp.
Thank you for your work on this.
However, I feel that the program should actually be accompanied by a proper licence notice making this clear. We cannot in good conscience recommend software that does not make its freeness status clear to the people who obtain the software.

Hi,
I am a regular user of llpp and try to promote it whenever possible. I have recently proposed it for pdfreaders.org, a website that promotes free pdf readers and is powered by the FSFE [1].
Thanks.
The pdfreaders.org-team is contemplating llpp, but to make a decision the licensing needs some clarification. I could only find information about llpp's licence on sites different from the actual project site (namely [2]) and there is no licence file in the repository.
It would be cool, if you could clarify this.
Best regards, Pascal
The code is in public domain (the bits i have written anyways), the compiled binary, by the virtue of depending on GPLed MuPDF, is GPL as far as i understand.
Hope that clarifies things.
