I my eyes the problem is, that JPOD currently provides the same features as
PDFBox does. It's way better structured and very well done, but it lacks
documentation and examples. So right now, I can understand that people prefer
PDFBox and therefore don't help to improve JPOD. Adding rasterization support
and some documentation would totally change the whole picture.

As business model you have the choices:

1) You are the only maintainer of the library and release it under GPL and under
a Commercial license (this is what MySQL does). Your benefit: You may get a
lot of testers via the GPL version and receive a lot of bug reports and all
this.

2) You set it under LGPL or equivalent, you can accept additional committers
and you can sell professional support, trainings, etc. However, if you want
others to be able to commit code to the library and help to improve it, you
have to put it under LGPL, because otherwise you really cannot use it even for
your own commercial products.

I'd be happy with either approch.

best regards
Andy
