QUESTION: regarding commercial usage of iText ver 4.1.6

[Hemant Sharma]

Hi ,

I am trying to use iText version4.1.6 with one of my commercial product as I read on some blogs etc that this was under LGPL . 

Can I continue using this ver 4.1.6 even now when the latest version is a paid version?

Please advise. Thank you.

Regards,

Hemant

There has never been a version 4.1.6 of iText, the Java-PDF version.
We've discussed this over and over again: you shouldn't use old versions
of iText for technical as well as legal reasons: http://lowagie.com/license

Mhm I didn't read java in Hemants post - did you?
You may have forgotten ;-) but there is/was a iText C# version 4.1.6 -
the latest licensed  under MPL/LPGL.

@Hemant
What do you think?
If you have the budget and the time/resources to adapt your project
and test the new version then go with the new commercial version.
Or you experience bugs or want to facilitate cool new features etc. go
with the new version.
And in the other cases go with 'never change a running system'.

That's not iText, that's iTextSharp ;-)

I was talking about the C# version ie iText Sharp( sorry for not being detailed there)
So can we use the iTextSharp version 4.1.6 coded in C#  for commercial use. Is it under LGPL?

(asking this as you might have answered pertaining to Java version, may be)

Hemant

If you don't care about your customer(s), you can probably do so.

The license is always the same whether it is Java or C# or C++ or
Cobol or whatever language...
