Thanks, it always hurts when I hear somebody yell "let's create a fork!" It's sounds like an insult and a complete lack of respect. Also: why on earth would somebody do that? He who makes it possible for companies such as Google to let other people do the work for them for free, condemns himself to slavery. I'm not talking about a developer who contributes a patch once in a while. I'm talking about somebody who wakes up with iText and goes to bed with iText. Each project needs such a person. Also: if the life of v2.x.y is extended, then be very, very careful: the package names are com.lowagie and that's MY name. I am Bruno Lowagie, and although there's the MPL/LGPL, I WILL DEFEND MY NAME! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
