That's the technical argument. There's also a legal argument (copy/paste from a mail from an attorney): "Older versions of iText under the free model may contain code fragments that infringe other peoples copyrights or intellectual property rights. iText Software Group has done a significant investment in identifying and eliminating all those case as of version 5.1. which is one of the reason why it is now a paying commercial version. We do not recommend the use of versions prior to 5.1 for commercial projects as your company could be liable for copyright or IP infringements." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
