Can I use OpenPDF (unmodified) in my commercial application without distributing the source code of my app?
IANAL, but if it's this (https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF) it seems to be LGPL, which means you can use it with a closed source, commercial app. There are additional restrictions however, so it'd be wise to do some more thorough reading around the license and what it allows (and doesn't.)

Libraries, Frameworks and Technologies you would NOT recommend
OpenPDF is a pretty decent replacement for itext. They forked itext from the version right before itext changed the license and have been actively developing it since.
