What you just described is called tortious interference or interference with
contractual relations. Calling up someone's client and telling them their
integrator did something wrong or bad by using the older, more liberally
licensed version of iTextSharp can constitute civil malfeasance under the
law if you induce the client to cancel any existing contract, back out of
work, or discontinue a business relationship that otherwise would have
remained intact. This is a tort under common law and suit can be brought
against you to hold you liable for any damages the integrator incurred
because of your interference. I sincerely hope iText have discontinued this
practice, as it is not only illegal, but immoral.
