Yesterday, tech blogosphere was buzzing about the Belgian Open Source developer Bruno Lowagie of Ghent‘s plans to restrict certain users from using the software he developed. The gist of the story is as follows. The developer of iText, an open source Java library which helps manipulate PDF, RDF, HTML, etc. on the fly. The developer has some personal problem with the Belgian Government and he now wants to restrict the Belgian government agencies from using the software by adding a term in the license. The software is released under Mozilla Public License and LGPL right now.
