Hi Gaurav,

iText Core library has 3 major releases in the history: iText 2, iText 5 and iText 7. The good news is that all iText Core library versions including the latest one, iText 7, is still open source. The license is however different than iText 2, let me elaborate: iText 7 Core and a number of open-source add-ons are available under the AGPLv3 open source license: https://itextpdf.com/en/how-buy/agpl-license. If one can’t comply to the AGPLv3 license requirements, it is still possible to use iText 7 with a commercial license. iText 7 Core and the open-source add-ons already supersede all iText 2 and iText 5 functionality, but in addition there are also several closed-source add-ons providing extra functionality. A complete overview of open-source and closed-source add-ons can be found in the product overview: https://itextpdf.com/en/products.

If you’d like to know more about open-source software licenses, you can check out this webinar: https://itextpdf.com/en/events/open-source-software-licenses-how-check-comply-them

I hope this answers your question.

Kind regards,
Kenneth Holvoet
