Question

Is the iTextSharp DLL free to use and redistribute with my web application project which i will be selling?

Answer 1

Yes, as long as you are just dynamically linking it under the LGPL.

Answer 2

Yes, as long as you don't try to sell it to your customer as your own product (;-)), you're free to use and deploy it as part of your own app.

Answer 3

Note that there has been a change: version 5.0.0 and up is licensed under the AGPL (strong copyleft). Version 4.1.6 and previous are still licensed under the MPL/LGPL (weak copyleft).

So for a commercial product you'll almost certainly want to stick with 4.1.6 or previous.
