Please start by reading http://itextpdf.com/salesfaq

You'll notice that there are legal as well as technical problems with 
versions of iText(Sharp) predating version 5. Some people have asked us: 
can't we fix those issues so that we can use iText(Sharp) for free? 
Please read http://lowagie.com/why5 and ask yourself: are you going to 
participate to ISO to know more about the standard? See 
http://itextpdf.com/events/ISO/NY2013

Finally, you refer to a version of iTextSharp published on Github by 
somebody with the (Trademark-infringing) nickname iTextSharper. This 
version is NO endorsed by the iText Group. How do you know this version 
doesn't contain any features/functionality that is different from what's 
inside the official version? Who are you going to turn to for help if 
something is wrong with that version?
