I'd like to use iTextSharp for PDF manipulation. I need it to run under medium trust (webserver) and to be free of charge (sice this is a very small project), therefore there is not much competition.

Unfortunately, since I need it for a commercial project, I cannot use the AGPL introduced with version 5.0. Do you know if I may use the 4.x versions using the LGPL? Or is their license automatically updated to the APGL?

+5  A: 

I don't know anything about iText, but if they released 4.x on LGPL conditions you can use it on that conditions regardless of what happened after that. They could change license, even to a proprietary one, fork, abandon project or whatever — it cannot affect 4.x licensing.
