Yes, the iText PDF library is open source, and can be used freely under the AGPL requirements. For more information, see below. The iText Core library has had 3 major releases: iText 2, iText 5, and iText 7. The good news is that all iText Core library versions including the latest one, iText 7, are open source. The license for iText 5 and iText 7 is however different than iText 2, let me elaborate: iText 7 Core and a number of open-source add-ons are available under the AGPLv3 open-source license: https://itextpdf.com/en/how-buy/agpl-license. If you cannot comply with the AGPLv3 license requirements, it is still possible to use iText 7 with a commercial license. iText 7 Core and its open-source add-ons already supersede all iText 2 and iText 5 functionality, but in addition there are also several closed-source add-ons which provide extra functionality. A complete overview of open-source and closed-source add-ons can be found in the product overview: https://itextpdf.com/en/products. If you’d like to know more about open-source software licenses, you can check out this webinar: https://itextpdf.com/en/events/open-source-software-licenses-how-check-comply-them I hope this answers your question.
