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.

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.
