+Apache FOP is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects. It
+is a Java application that reads a formatting object tree conforming
+to the XSL 1.1 Recommendation (05 December 2006) and then turns it
+into a PDF document, certain other output formats or allows you to
+preview it directly on screen.
+
+Output formats currently supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML
+(area tree representation), Print, AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent,
+RTF and TXT. The primary output target is PDF.
+
+The goals of the Apache FOP project are to deliver an XSL-FO to PDF
+formatter that is compliant to at least the Basic conformance level
+described in the W3C Recommendation from 05 December 2006, and that
+complies with the November 2001 Portable Document Format Specification
+(Version 1.4) from Adobe Systems.
+
+This is the old fop 2.3 for the incredibly ancient jdk 6 (including
+openjdk6). If you are running jdk 7 or newer, you will need fop, also
+available on SBo.
+
+Also note that fop and fop-legacy cannot coexist on the same computer.
+
+jai and jai-imageio are optional but recommended dependencies.
