I agree that if anything iText could be considered as a "plugin" for PDF generation and FOP as an XSL:FO processor which could use iText to generate the end result. I think however it would require a significant software change which I am not qualified to estimate. Those more familiar with the FOP source code can evaluate that. > > So the questions are: > > - is the license useable > > - is the api sufficient for FOP to use A look at Sourceforge tells us that the licenCes (bloody Americans can't spell English words) are License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), Mozilla Public License 1.1 If Bruno is still the copyright holder then he can presumably simply "add" an Apache-style licence. I don't feel comfortable using the LGPL for this and don't know about the Mozilla license. Now I can't even find the exact text of these on the sourceforge site but I know they must be somewhere. I suppose I could always just download the software since the licences will be in the software package, no?
