Posterior versions of itext seem to have updated the
license of those files. In particular, in iText 2.0.2 all
the files under ./com/lowagie/text/pdf/codec/postscript/*
are also licensed under MPL 1.1 and LGPL 2 or later.

I can take care of this.

Anyway, itext is very very outdated and after squeeze
this package should be updated.
