I'd like to confirm something about the LGPL licence TCPDF uses, hope people in here can clarify. I've read the licence itself, but just so I'm not missing something obvious (I'm not very good at law-speak, and being quite sick at the moment doesn't help matters much).
Let's say I want to start a commercial web project, where:
- The software I make runs on our server. The program itself is not redistributed.
- End users can log in and input data.
- End users can generate a PDF file from said data; these files would be made with TCPDF.
- I would not modify TCPDF in any way; I'm just using the library as-is.
- I would keep all copyright notices etc. intact.
Can I use TCPDF for this without any hassle? I don't suppose anything in this would go against the licence in question?
Thanks a ton for answers in advance, as well as for the great library, Nicola!

All the licensing rules are described on the license itself.
