Ofbiz using itext-2.1.7

Hi, There is a usage of itext-2.1.7 (com.lowagie) library in ofbiz. And I
am not sure if this comes under open source or some other license. Is it
fine to use apache in commercial applications as it includes itext library?
Thank you.

Hello Rishin,

This Itext version was the last version that could be included in OFBiz
regarding the Licence (MPL).

Nothing to worry about this.

Regards,

Gil

Hi Rishi,

If you trust random people off the internet, here is an explanation

If you don't, contact a lawyer with software licensing practice.

Hope it helps.
