thank you wolfgang, this is very good news for me, to have all postgis
related stuff built with free tools.
the bugfix might well accelerate the release of your build.

roberto and i work together now, and we are quite ready for prime time.
but package acceptance seems to be very slow, for good reasons i
believe.
as i believe, since libpostgisjava has no individual reason to be in
contrib, it will move with no problem from contrib to main.

just please let me see your free libpgjava for me to test, even before
being accepted.
