Hi,
I'm not sure where to post my question, so please redirect if this is
not the right channel.
Let me start out by saying I think it's a great service that you provide

I've looked into using pdfbox to make a little tool to get specific
texts (for academic use) out of pdf documents. It seems I can make this

into a single executable that operates on a directory filled with pdf's.

fellow scientists who might be interested.
I'm not very familiar with all the licenses, but am wondering if it is
ok to share this executable (containing pdfbox) to users who also like
to use it? Or what kind of restrictions apply?
You are free to use it, whatever you do. I guess the Apache License [1]
isn't that complicated and quite easy to understand. ;-)
