Hello Tika!
Hello Aperture!
We (the Aperture project) have recently updated the pdfbox to the
current trunk version. It seems that they've introduced a new dependency
on the Java Advanced Imaging API (JAI). The problem is that JAI imposes
certain constraints on redistribution. They are summarized here:

I don't understand it and I thought it might be relevant to both
communities. How do you interpret this? Rumour has it that pdfbox is to
join ASF, which has strict legal policies. I personally don't like the
idea of agreeing to defend Sun against anything.
I've posted it on the pdfbox forum.

I guess the pdfbox forum might be the best place to continue this
discussion.
All kinds of comments welcome.
