I have contacted Fedora-legal and they told me that they will audit the issue when the package hits to bugzilla.

I compiled itext today. It has some dependencies (bouncycastle) that need to be upgraded in Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465203

This may take a while, depending on its packager. There is also a new dependency that itext depends on [1]. Hence we will need to wait a little longer for itext.


oget

[1] bcmail, which can be packaged together with bouncycastle's bcprov, or maybe as a sub-package.
