I my eyes, PdfSharpCore¹ is now the "canonical" version of pdfcore.
IMHO the list is incomplete without it.

It seems the PDFSharp rabbit hole goes even deeper than I've realized!
Latest MigraDoc & PDFSharp seem to have been updated and ported to .NET 6 after a lot of the forks happened, so it was unclear to me whether there's merits in looking at other, mostly abandoned forks.
I might add PdfSharpCore, though the use of SixLabors.ImageSharp and SixLabors.Fonts leads to a disqualification from the "quest", given their custom split license [1]
Edit: Actually, the license seems to turn into an Apache 2.0 license, when used with an open source licensed project and also as transitive dependency. Certainly a confusing license.

Edit: PSA - PdfSharpCore uses older releases of SixLabors.ImageSharp v1.0.4 and Fonts-1.0.0-beta17 which both were (and are still) distributed under plain Apache-2.0.
