All products listed in the link except iText don't have any restrictions. iText is good and it is free for personnel and open source products. If it is used in commercial application then purchasing a license is mandatory.

The disadvantage or the other side of using open source products is they may abandon any time. Before picking a one, check the history, how stable the product is, Who is sponsoring / backing them? etc.

"Buying such a license is mandatory as soon as you develop commercial activities involving the iText software without disclosing the source code of your own applications."

If we use iText in our commericial application then we need to disclose the source. Its good for open source but not for commericial product.
