In our case, we will have a Websphere running on the server side with iText 5 jar file, our intranet employees will use browsers to view and print the pdf files generated by the iText, then send the printed the document to external users. Do we need a commercial license in this case? Many thanks! Tao

In an University the same would apply for faculty members but not for students or faculty members from other Universities.

If you're exposing the service to the exterior either you provide the source code of your application or you buy a commercial license. ... What does "intranet" mean in this context? Is a license required if the Web application is restricted to faculty in a particular department of a particular university [my speculation: that is an intranet, and the license requires nothing further]? What if such a faculty member reaches the departmental application from a Web browser at his home off-campus [my speculation: that is *not* an intranet, and source-code-or-license is required]? What if the departmental application is open to academic collaborators who might potentially be based anywhere in the (IP-connected) world [my speculation: that is even less of an intranet, and source-code-or-license is required--but it's really not very commercial, as the purpose is only to promote academic research]? Thank you, Paulo, for your help in these matters. ________________________________ Aviso Legal: Esta mensagem é destinada exclusivamente ao destinatário.
