Should license be GPL for poppler-simple ? #50

Hello,

I've made a POC with poppler-simple and it works well, many thanks !

Although, I'm concerned about the license:

The poppler project is itself released under GPL as they say explicitly in their README:

Note that Poppler is licensed under the GPL, not the LGPL, so programs which call Poppler must be licensed under the GPL as well. See the section History and GPL licensing for more information.

If I read correctly, poppler-simple should also be licensed as GPL, isn't it ?
