Henri,
Well, better late than never! It's good of you to follow up -- I had
forgotten about that code a long time ago. I've continued to use my
version since it didn't show up in commons after a month or so, and I
just never remembered to circle back about it.
Yes, by all means, use the code.
Thanks,

Back in October 2003, Chas submitted an improved implementation of
the getLevenshtein method in Jakarta Commons Lang's StringUtils
class. By the looks of the history, I then failed to apply it. My
apologies for that.
Cedrik posted an issue reminding us of this fact, and finally we've
applied the patch, though we've used the version from http://
www.merriampark.com/ldjava.htm rather than the original email. I
presume it's the more up to date and I'm assuming that Chas is
still happy for us to use the code. Let me know if that's not the
case, Chas.
Mostly though, I wanted to thank all three of you for your
involvement. Michael for the original implementation, Chas for the
optimised one and Cedrik for following up so well.
The code should go out in Commons Lang 2.2 at some point in the
coming months.
Thanks,
Hen
