contactranga Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi, I was wondering about the licensing policy between Jaspersoft and iText-pdf 5.5.Does the community version of Jaspersoft products use and distribute iText 5.5 under LGPL?If yes, is there an official document or file that indicates/provides the license terms?Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Ranga.

marianol Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The information you are looking for is in the license file that comes with the jasperreports library. All the license files for the 3rd party libraries are included in the distribution in the dame location as this libraties so check jasperreports-x.x.x/lib/itextpdf-x.x.x-LICENSE.txtYou can check to this post as a guidance (remember IANAL) http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/847476/jasperreports-60-licensing-and-itext-55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Rabbi Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi,just wanted to add that from the last version of JasperReports / Jaspersoft Studio 6.0.4 we reverted back to the old iText library 2.1.7.s2.Regards,Massimo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hozawa Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Will the upcoming 6.1.0 be using the old iText 2.1.7 library? Was the change due to licensing issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teodor Danciu Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi,There was indeed a special exception thanks to an agreement between Jaspersoft at the time and iText.But with Tibco taking over of Jaspersoft, we were not able to guarantee that the agreement could be continued in its present form, so to avoid any legal problems we have returned to iText licensed under MPL 1.1. If an agreement is reached again between Tibco and iText, we'll make sure our community benefits from it right away. Until then, we are back to iText 2.1.7 distributed under Mozilla Public License 1.1.Thanks,Teodor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
