I don't know if I wrote it here but the dual MPL2/LGPL relicensing efforts have been paused: it was a demanding task and I thought it would have been better to finish API review first to keep the focus. So at the moment I have no idea how long it will take to finish the task: It's about reviewing all the commits I collected, decide which ones configure a copyright attribution (not all of them do), prepare a message and send it to contributors, wait and handle the situation in case of no or negative answer. > By any chance, did you mean _before_ the 1.0 release? I meant after. Yes, it would be best to have it for 1.0, but if the task proves to be not so easy I don't think it's that big issue to relicense with 1.1 or a later version: relicensings can happen suddenly. Anyway, I will consider resuming the effort immediately after releasing a 1.0-rc (this will happen when the TODO list for 1.0 is fully cleared). > By the way, thank you for keeping the library alive. PoDoFo is essential for my job, but only 50% of my contributions are paid, the rest is volunteering. I crave for PoDoFo to be still relevant, and I consider the API review and relicensing efforts to be important for that. > I did not have time to port the litePDF project to the latest bits yet, > also because I failed to port the podofo-sign tool earlier (the API > changes did not make it clear to me what to do, hence the failure on my > side; you might find my mail on the list from almost two years ago with > a little patch attached). I remember the little patch and I applied some (if not all) of the changes already. Anyway, there's a new high level API for signing: seriously, today signing a document with PoDoFo is a few lines of code[1] and you get modern PAdES-B compliant signatures, as opposed to legacy PKCS7 ones. Deferred signing is also supported (eg. for signing with tokens or remote services). Tests are a good source for usage of the newer APIs today.
