Good News. I have finished examining all of the remaining runtime jars, and I
have found only one major problem.

The jar opendap-0.0.9.jar has distributes gnu.getopt, which is GPL. This makes
the whole jar GPL. I am not sure what the license for the jar would be if
getopt were not included...

The following jars have unknown licenses. In one case, it is unknown because I
was unable to register on the IBM DeveloperWorks website.

These need to be researched... 

ImageJ.jar
griddlesActorLib.jar
rdf-api-2001-01-19.jar
qaqc.jar
wmsd.jar
ncsu.jar
edu.sdsc.globusproxy.jar
kepler-styles.jar
geon-jdbc-driver.jar
db2jcc.jar
oracleJdbc.jar
omi.jar

There are also some Microsoft JDBC jars that we can only redistribute if we
register. I think registering may be free, but I did not look that closely into
it:

mssqlserver.jar
msbase.jar
msutil.jar

Overall, we are looking much better than I expected... The remaining risk
remains with the unknowns.
