In their web site said:
XHTML2PDF is dual-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 Holtwick, Schreiberstraße 2, 47058 Duisburg, Germany.
pisa is licensed under the GNU Gerneral Public License version 2.
The GPL requires that any code that includes GPL code be subject to the GPL itself. This only has implications if you are distributing that code to other people.
If you are giving your code to the client, and you opt not to purchase the commercial license to XHTML2PDF, your client has the right to take your other code and re-distribute (sell, give away, etc.) it to other people under the GPL.
If you pay for the commercial license, your client has no right to re-distribute your code without your express permission.
