Bug Description

The license information is incomplete / incorrect:
The explicitly mentioned dependency on Ghostscript contradicts the classification of this package as "MIT License".
It should be explained under which conditions the package can be used.
In any case, Ghostscript cannot be used under an MIT License. Possible only are either GNU AGPL 3.0 or a commercial license.

This question has come up a lot of times.
Most recent discussion is over here #89 (comment)

We where on the edge of removing ghostscript completely. But as to some explanations and links over in that treath. AGPL can we used when calling from an MIT program.
For those who think it is an problem Ghostscript dependency is optional ;)

Please join the discussion there. If you think more clarification is needed.
Or the conclusions drawn there are wrong.

Closing this one.
