| SanDita | Hello, anyone | 06:14.34 |
| | Which API should I use to generate a new page from a RGB data and insert it into a PDF file? | 06:15.43 |
| artifexirc-bot | <Robin_Watts> SanDita: Hi. So, can you tell us a little about what you are trying to do, please? | 09:55.11 |
| | <Robin_Watts> You're planning to build an Android app, right? | 09:55.32 |
| | <Robin_Watts> If so, then you need to pay careful attention to the licenses that MuPDF is released under. | 09:57.55 |
| | <Robin_Watts> Firstly, MuPDF is released under the GNU AGPL. If you use MuPDF under this license, then you need to abide by the terms of the GNU AGPL. There are lots of stringent requirements, not least of which is that you need to release the source code to your ENTIRE app. | 09:59.51 |
| | <Robin_Watts> That requirement alone is enough to make the GNU AGPL unsuitable for most people's usage on the app store. | 10:01.20 |
| | <Robin_Watts> If that is the case for you, then you need look into the MuPDF commercial license. That costs money, but it frees you from the need to release your source. | 10:02.25 |
| | <Robin_Watts> If you can't abide by the terms of the GNU AGPL, and you won't get a commercial license, you can't use MuPDF for anything you distribute. | 10:03.02 |
| | <Robin_Watts> And he's not here 😦 | 10:04.15 |
| | <Robin_Watts> Hopefully he'll read the logs. | 10:04.23 |
