Re: License issue with iText 4.2.0

Are we sure there are no legal issues doing so? It seems OK at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.lowagie/itext/4.2.0 (MPL) But reading https://developers.itextpdf.com/question/versions-older-than-5 which applies also to 4.2.0 (see bottom "Some people claim that they use iText 4.2.0, but

Re: License issue with iText 4.2.0

Flexible Birt reports works as well w/o itext. Not sure though why itext is embedded in Birt and what for it's used It seems used for digital signature and accessibility at least: https://communities.opentext.com/forums/discussion/57615/birt-and-digital-signature

Re: License issue with iText 4.2.0

Actually at least simple Birt PDF files (in ordermgr/control/OrderPurchaseReportOptions)  are rendered w/o itext. I'll try later for more complex ones at birt/control/ListFlexibleReport Jacques Le 08/06/2018 à 14:29, Jacques Le Roux a écrit : One question though: do we need itext to render

Re: License issue with iText 4.2.0

Oops you were clear, my bad. That's indeed an issue and we can't force itext 4.2.0 to use another compatible itextpdf version. Because itext 4.2.0 has a dependency on itextpdf from start and itextpdf is AGPL from start https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.lowagie/itext

Re: License issue with iText 4.2.0

So we exclude the transitive dependency in build.gradle and if everything works then we're fine. Syntax: compile('com.lowagie:itext:4.2.0') { exclude 'com.itextpdf:itextpdf:5.5.6' } On Fri, Jun 8, 2018, 11:40 AM Scott Gray wrote: > Hey Jacques, > > Maybe I wasn't clear, OFBiz is

I suggest this comment, a Jira seems appropriate -    compile 'com.lowagie:itext:4.2.0' +    compile 'com.lowagie:itext:4.2.0' // don't update to 5+ because of license change Jacques Le 08/06/2018 à 09:26, Jacques Le Roux a écrit : Le 08/06/2018 à 09:24, Jacques Le Roux a écrit : Hi Scott,
