I haven't received your personal message yet (unless it dates
from way back), but the license is about the source code, not
about the way you jar the class files.

I assume your question is about ScaleAndTile, an application
that USES iText, providing a SURPLUS for people buying your
software (which I promoted on my blog a while ago).

ScaleAndTile may be inspired by some functionality in the toolbox.
I don't know; but you mention the Toolbox, so I'll also add this:
the license of the toolbox was changed to the MIT license a while
ago, and this license is less strict than the MPL and/or LGPL:
it gives you more freedom.

In other words: there is no problem with ScaleAndTile, even if
you would jar it together with iText class files.
You can always mail me if you have further questions.

best regards,
Bruno Lowagie
