Hello, in my understanding of section 7 of the AGPL, the supplemental terms are there to ensure compatibility with other free license, and the ‘legal notices or author attributions’ that are the object of the paragraph b) are typically found in the program's source code, not in code or the data generated by the program. The GPL has a similar section. Regardless of the purpose and the intentions behind requiring to ‘retain the producer line in every PDF that is created or manipulated using iText’, if this addition to the AGPL does not fall under Section 7(b), this makes iText potentially incompatible with other works released under the (A)GPL license. That alone may be a reason to reconsider this additional term.
