I agree, open source does not necessarily mean free, and I was oversimplifying in talking about what I meant by free. I am interested *both* in free as in beer as well as freely modifyable, redistributable, etc. - something along the lines of a GPL/BSD license.
I don't know what you are talking about when you say "read the website". There is not a whole lot on the website suggesting that the software is written in an open source model. The license can't possibly pass muster as an open source license. Agreed, PDFlib lite seems to be released as open source, and does fit open source guidelines - but that doesn't mean that PDFlib in general is developed with an open source model.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
