PdfViewer application uses GPL licensed component "Poppler". http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/README
As stated in /pdfviewer/COPYING it is also licensed under GPL.

But pdfviewer also uses a library libpbframework which should also be licensed under GPL compatible license. Since its source is closed, there is a license violation.

Please consider removing pdfviewer application from your firmware or provide the source code of libpbframework under GPL-compatible license.
