A client asks me to create a PDF in Python, but I do not know if I have to pay a license or just Use it what I have to do?
They said:
XHTML 2 PDF is licensed: 1. GNU General Public License Version 2.0 (GPLV2) 2. A Commercial License
In their docs:
Pisa is copyrighted by Dirk Holtwick, Germany. Pisa is distributed by Dirk Holtvik, Skeibrastros 2, 47058 Duisburg, Germany. Pisa is licensed under the GNU Garnational Public License Version 2.
GPL requires that any code containing GPL code, subject to GPL That's it. This is the only implication if you are distributing that code to other people.
If you are giving your code to the customer, and you do not buy commercial licenses for XHTML 2 PDF, then your customer has the right to take over your other codes and redistribute to other people under GPL. (Sell, sell, etc.).
If you pay for a commercial license, then your customer has no right to redistribute your code without your explicit permission.
