Yeah, I use xpdf for PDFs which probably has an MIT licence. But it is only because I don't use a GUI Emacs I don't use Emacs for PDFs as well. What I do with PDFs is check out the result of compiled LaTeX. But sure, you would anyhow want a viewer, Emacs or otherwise, for the occasional Internet file. Still, compared to the manpages, info files, and the on-line help system that Emacs offers viewing material as PDFs that are available in those forms should at the very least be heavy-handed and not offer the same interactiveness as the in-house solutions.
