Justification: Policy 2.2.1

Dear Maintainer,

The file patches/itext-1.5.2.patch incorporates a non-free license, stating 

Sun Microsystems grants you ("Licensee") a non-exclusive, royalty free, license
to use, modify and redistribute this software in source and binary code form,
provided that i) this copyright notice and license appear on all copies of the
software; and ii) Licensee does not utilize the software in a manner which is
disparaging to Sun Microsystems.

This breaks at least DFSG-6, due to the "disparaging to Sun Microsystems"
clause.

Best regards,
