You need to do more research.
A quick search of the website shows that the pdf viewer is LGPL, while the full client is not. See JPedal Download the 30 day trial version and JPedal - Commercial vs LGPL version comparison

For those searching for the free version, you can get JPedal LGPL v4.92b23 here:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jpedal.jpedal-lgpl/jpedal-lgpl/4.92b23
There's also a github fork here. Testing it for pdf->png conversion seemed to produce mixed results compared to the original version.

Yes Jpedal is totally free if you comply to the LGPL license.
Update:
The world changed in the meantime and the (LGPL) open source Jpedal was stopped. If you look for that version it was removed from sourceforge. The last vrsion was based on the 4.92 Version you can download it here. This library is using Swing/AWT for rendering PDFs.
A while ago the newer version of Jpedal was released under the name of 'OpenViewerFX' and is basically the same as above but using JavaFX for rendering PDFs. Since JavaFX is used it needs Java 1.8.
Update II:
The OpenViewerFX was also discontinued. So there is currently no open source version of jpedal. You can still find the code here.
Full JPedal library is proprietary/commercial licensed: http://www.jpedal.org/support_faq.php#licensing
A cut-down version is open source under LGPL.
