iText is still open source but the license has changed.
OpenPDF is the LGPL and MPL fork of iText from before the license
changed to the AGPLv3. If you want to use iText with the free AGPLv3
license then you need to open source your software as well.
Alternatively iText has commercial licenses.
OpenPDF uses Gnu Lesser General Public License and Mozilla Public
License so you can use it for free without open sourcing your code. I
now use OpenPDF.

Hello everybody
Thank you all for your responses. Very useful to learn various libraries
are being used in Tapestry apps. iText, JasperReport, PDFBox, and FOP.
We'll go with Apache FOP in our project as it turns out we can re-use
some
FOP stylesheets from another project.
A Tapestry FOP module would be useful for configuring FOP in a Tapestry
manner. Likewise, it would include a service that would hold the
FopFactory
instance which (according to the FOP docs) is supposed to be reused
if one
plans to render multiple documents during a JVM's lifetime.
As Ilya described, a Tapestry FOP module is, however, not necessary. One
can just read a config file and configure FOP programmatically.
Again, thank you all for your thoughts. Have a nice weekend.
Cheers,
Volker
