Hi Nico,
Can you please check the reader if it is completely Free Software (check for all parts) and if it is fine to put him on pdfreaders.org.
Yes, version 0.3 of the software can be downloaded online and is licensed under the GPL 2. This is said in the file named "GPL" in the root folder. However, separate script files do not contain the license text. Is it a problem?
Furthermore, dependencies seem to be okay. It can run (and runs on said website) using apache/php/mysql. It uses wget, wv and ghostscript, which are all GPLed. The bad one there could be ImageMagick, which is licensed under… the ImageMagick license! See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/license.php. It seems to be very similar to the GPL, however I can't assure compatibility. The main divergence point I see is: "It does not require you to […] include the source of the ImageMagick software itself, or of any modifications you may have made to it, in any redistribution you may assemble that includes it"
Please tell me if I can help further. Nicolas
