# License

XDocReport code is license under *MIT license* but the samples are licensed under *LGPL license*, this is why.

## XDocReport Core

Because we love to share our code, we prefer a very weak license. That's why we choose *MIT License* for our core modules.

MIT License is called a weak license which allow redistribution and modification (Although we appreciate contributions).

## Issue with iText based PDF converter

iText is a very powerful Java library for creating PDF. Our iText based converter is by far the best PDF converter that we provide. iText 2.1.7 comes with a *LGPL license* which is not compliant with our *MIT License*.

Thus, people that would use and redistribute xdocreport with iText based converter will have to comply with the *LGPL license*. This is exactly what we do with our [XDocReport Samples](https://github.com/opensagres/xdocreport.samples).

Which are licensed under *LGPL license* and not the *MIT License*.
