Do be careful with iText products—they license their stuff under AGPL but their interpretation of AGPL is pretty extreme. If you talk to their team they'll tell you that ~everything your company makes should be AGPL-licensed if you use iText anywhere [0]:
> You may not deploy it on a network without disclosing the full source code of your own applications under the AGPL license. You must distribute all source code, including your own product and web-based applications.
They also have this delightful nagware encoded as a base64 string that spits this out in your logs [1]:
> You are using iText under the AGPL.
> If this is your intention, you have published your own source code as AGPL software too.
Please let us know where to find your source code by sending a mail to agpl@apryse.com
We'd be honored to add it to our list of AGPL projects built on top of iText
and we'll explain how to remove this message from your error logs.
> If this wasn't your intention, you are probably using iText in a non-free environment.

If you are a customer, we'll explain how to install your license key to avoid this message.
If you're not a customer, we'll explain the benefits of becoming a customer.
For using RUPS on a local computer you're probably safe, but I avoid the company because everything about their approach to the AGPL suggests that they chose it as a marketing technique for their paid products (with an extremely strong desire that it never be used commercially without pay), not out of a serious commitment to free software.
