The license of the DES cipher, which goes into the jar files looks suspicious
to me:

    THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED FOR USE OR RESALE AS ON-LINE
    CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING FAIL-SAFE
    PERFORMANCE, SUCH AS IN THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT
    NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, DIRECT LIFE
    SUPPORT MACHINES, OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS, IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE
    SOFTWARE COULD LEAD DIRECTLY TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE
    PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE ("HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES").  WIDGET
    WORKSHOP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
    FITNESS FOR HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.


This might be nonfree. I am blocking FE-Legal. For references, please see the
files:
    classes/ssl/src/ultra/README
    classes/ssl/src/ultra/DesCipher.java
    classes/ssl/src/tight/README
    classes/ssl/src/tight/DesCipher.java

The full license statement can be found at the bottom of the above 2 README
files.

If FE-Legal decides that the DES cipher code is nonfree, these files (the
corresponding java and jar files) cannot go into the SRPM.
