PDFLIB isn't free. A commercial PDFlib license is required for all uses of the software which are not explicitely covered by the Aladdin Free Public License (see bottom), for example: ? shipping a commercial product which contains PDFlib ? distributing (free or commercial) software based on PDFlib when the source code is not made available ? implementing commercial Web services with PDFlib ? you may develop free software with PDFlib, provided you make all of your own source code publicly available ? you may develop software for your own use with PDFlib as long as you don't sell it ? you may redistribute PDFlib non-commercially ? you may redistribute PDFlib on digital media for a fee if the complete contents of the media are freely redistributable. It's fine for some situations, but it's not *free* for all uses. There are actually quite a number of scenarios I come across where PDFLIB isn't a 'free' package, but requires someone to pay. "implementing commercial Web services with PDFlib" is pretty wide open, imo.
