Hello,
in the past we have removed itext and pdftk which depends on itext from
the Fedora distribution due
license issue.
In the new iText package itext-2.0.4 I have found a text file about the
licensing situation of the
source file coming from Sun Corporation Inc.
I have uploaded this file for review on
http://www.herr-schmitt.de/pub/itext/sun.txt
I want to know, it this ok for Fedora. But I assume, that the last term
about usage this
file for nuclear weapons may be a blocker.
Jochen, do you have an update of the situation? Will upstream agree to modify
the license scheme a bit?
I use pdftk randomly in my job, several times a year, but I really need it. It
is not so nice to see one usefull package go away from Fedora.
