The iText library that ships with OpenBD is the older version which was
released under GPL.
That is why we haven't updated the library to the latest iTEXT release.
So you are absolutely fine to use it.

with other software to redistribute I'd guess (I'm no lawyer) that
you're supposed to have an enterprise license.
I know that OpenBD uses iText under the hood. Is my understanding of
the iText licensing incorrect? Does the enterprise licensing for
redistribution on iText not apply when used by another FOSS project
like openBD? And (perhaps much more complicated) if you're
redistributing a CFML project with an openbd/jetty server bundled, am
I running afoul of the iText licensing by OpenBD proxy, if I'm not
using iText?
