We moved to MPL because the industry wanted a license that
was less strict.

> - Can i use iText in a production enveronment?

Yes.

> or i need to purchase any license for it?

No, as a matter of fact, you can't buy a license.

> - 'Free' means what level of freeness ?

The license was used mainly to avoid abuse of the developers,
all the existing and future users and of course the library itself.

> Can u elaborate the licensing issues?
