Spec URL: http://kalev.fedorapeople.org/itextsharp.spec SRPM URL: http://kalev.fedorapeople.org/itextsharp-4.1.6-1.fc12.src.rpm Description: iText# (iTextSharp) is a port of the iText open source java library for PDF generation, written entirely in C# for the .NET platform.
There is a possible licensing problem. During mono-bouncycastle review it was discovered that mono-bouncycastle contains ASL 1.1 licensed code, which is incompatible with GPL. itextsharp contains code that is dual licensed under (LGPLv2+ or MPLv1.1). The problem is with LGPLv2+, which is not compatible with ASL 1.1. It might be possible that MPLv1.1 is compatible with ASL 1.1, but I couldn't find any references about that. I wrote to bouncycastle csharp crypto mailing list [1] and filed a ticket with their bugtracking system [2], asking if they could relicense the ASL 1.1 code under ASL 2.0. It should certainly be possible to solve this issue, as the ASL 1.1 code in bouncycastle originates from the Apache ANT project, which has been subsequently relicened to ASL 2.0.

The licensing problems should be solved now, but I'm no longer interested in this package. Closing the ticket.
