Using Pdfbox in android app.
Hello!
I am Android developer, and i would ask You question about Pdfbox usage in
app, which I am currently developing. I have chcecked license, but still I
am not sure, if I can use Pdfbox in my app with ads in?
It is just app which will be placed in Google Play, and i want to monetize
it with ads inside. Can You explain me, if I can use Pdfbox, based on
current license, and do I have to place any disclaimers or something?
Thank You for help,
Sincerely, Michael.

PDFBox for Android is not an Apache product. It is a port of an Apache
product.

Please don't hijack old threads. If you answer to this, start a new one,
with a new title. (The answer is: have a look at the
PrintTextLocations.java example in the source code download)

AL2 is a fairly liberal license. I don't see why you couldn't use PDFBox in an app that contains ads.

No disclaimers are necessary, since your app is not a "derivative work".
Attribution is not strictly necessary, but would be greatly appreciated by the project.
IANAL, YMMV, etc.
I'm curious... why would an Android app need to produce PDF files?
