Itoa is open source, and its true -- code is available, all under open-source licenses.
But there is a catch - GPL license of itoa-main is incompatible with APSL license used in other projects. So you can't distribute applications built with Itoa. You can however, develop and use them privately (i.e. for testing).
Unless, of course, you obtain commercial license for itoa-main. That's right - itoa-main is dual-licensed.
However, you can't buy a license. Currently the only way to get a license is to contribute to Itoa. You can contribute to any of Itoa projects, not just itoa-main. But if you contribute to itoa-main I will need your assent to use your code whatever I like (retaining notice that code is written by you).
Current license contribution rules are: contribute anything and you will get a license. As simple as that.
In the future, once Itoa matures, commercial licenses will be available for purchase.
