Comment:

 That sale was from 2.0. We're 2.2 now, slowly growing.
 Spatialite already uses liblwgeom (statically links to it).
 And QGIS is planning to use it too.
 Should we discourage these users ?

 Personally I'd rather keep moving toward an independent library, even if
 slowly.
 The alternative, for those who invested in reusing it, would be to make it
 available as a fork,
 which could be worst than keeping it in postgis for some more time (I'm
 thinking of all the signatures that are only in the "internal" header).

 I can do the work of maintaining the API if it's just a matter of time
 cost.
