• Licensing for iText?

    By Mike Brown 1 decade ago

    The licensing for the iText library, which this project makes use of, isn't quite as open source as it once was.  Unless you're using an old version of iText, you either have to make public the source code to your application or pay them for a licence.

    I could see nothing in the project's documentation that warns potential users of this fact.

    • iText version

      By Rami Muurimäki 1 decade ago

      Project is using iText version 2.1.7 which license (GPL 2.1) is a bit more free than license the newest iText version uses (AGPL). This is one of reasons for using the older version.

      If the project is missing some extra warning or something, please let me know.
