Licensing question: BIRT using com.lowagie.text v2.1.7 (aka iText)
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I notice the BIRT runtime v4.6 uses com.lowagie.text_2.1.7_v201601250100.jar. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>There's a somewhat confusing re-branding of Lowagie and iText but I believe they're the same product. On the iText site, there is a post that addresses using iText versions prior to their transition from open source to an AGPL license:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://developers.itextpdf.com/question/versions-older-than-5'>https://developers.itextpdf.com/question/versions-older-than-5</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is this of any concern? Should I be worried about using BIRT in my project?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any info</p>
