It is not our responsibility when the distros accept including Ghostscript, letting the printing stack use Ghostscript, and then use the distro for cloud services (and up to now no one complains about it). I hope it is at least no AGPL violation to use Ghostscript on a regular real-iron computer due to its closed-source BIOS. > > Like I said, the AGPL is not specific enough to exclude this... :/ By all distros including Ghostscript and having it used by their printing stack and no one complaining we can assume they have no problem with that, but for outside the distro world I will continue to support Poppler. Ghostscript delivering high print quality in distros is a good advertising for them. CUPS 3.x should also support the two, GHostscript to make distros happy, and Poppler for correct commercial use.
