OpenPDF is under LGPL itself so I would assume so.

Per FSF then MPL 2.0 is compatible with GPL and LGPL while MPL 1.x is not GPL compatible - they do not mention LGPL but I assume non-compatible with that as well. If this is important for you then you should really consult a lawyer that specializes in open source licenses to get real legal advice. Arne
