Hello Michael,
I've seen your message that Java is dropped for CUPS 1.4.
We (at my employer) do still want to use your Java library and work it to compliance with CUPS 1.3 (eg. issues with utf-8).

There's just one thing I would like to ask of you:
Your Java *library* is released under the GPLv2.
Could you (re)release it - under the GPLv2 - with the Classpath Exception?

     http://openjdk.java.net/legal/gplv2+ce.html
     http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/license.html

(LGPLv2 will also do, but GPLv2+CE is the norm for free Java software)

Thanks in advance,
Opher Shachar.
