   It's not the only issue no, but we're open to relicensing Ghostscript
   GPLv2+ if it would be useful to the community. We've not done so yet,
   but gnupdf isn't the only way of resolving this particular "technical"
   barrier.

That would be great! A GPLv2+ ghostscript would be really useful. We
could reuse a lot of code for gnupdf, for instance, and I am sure a
lot more projects would benefit from a GPLv3 gs.
