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.
