Whether it is for or against peoples wishes, there is a standard somewhere and even the author of xpdf hints that there is one and what you are removing is against the "standard".

Confirmed.

And we are happy about it!

DRM is in the PDF standard. (Which is bad, but I won't waste time trying to fix that...)

OpenBSD is now removing DRM from xpdf. (Which is good.)

So instead of being compliant to the full PDF standard, the new OpenBSD version of xpdf will be compliant to the PDF standard, excluding the DRM stuff. (Which is better than full compliance, since we are avoiding
a denial-of-service vulnerability in the standard.)
This could be worth meantioning in the man page...
