We use the last GPL licensed version, which is - and will always be - copyright by Oracle. The copyright, though, is not a problem as long as the code is licensed under GPL. I do not think, but I might be wrong, that AOOo will update this extension, because it relies heavily on GPL components which should be substituted. Of course, they might decide to write a new PDF rendering engine under Apache License, which we could easily use. > TBH I don't really like "locked" extensions.
