I´m not going to distribute the application becauseof it´s for use only
inside the company. I wrote about the 2.71 version of iText because its
source code is available. In the GNU FAQ says that if I don´t distribute my
application and it´s only going to be used inside the organization, I can
include the source code of any GNU Project inside without the MUST of open
it.
I just want be sure AGPL it´s agree with this feature of the GPL license. I
could try to include the 2.71 code in my Android Project but (like you
probably expected) I would prefer the Android version of this library. By
the way, where can I download the Android version of iText?

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
