So now I am in a catch-22, I am not allowed to host the external jars, and
can't access the jars from a separate URL code-base via Web Start.  So VFS
might be impossible to integrate into Chainsaw.
 

Why not integrate the possible jars thus the user could have http, ftp, 
webdav and local.
Those users who would like to use smb or sftp could use a local Chainsaw 
installation and put the needet jars in their classpath.
vfs doesnt need those libraries, it simply do not load the provider.

Even if not nice, anoter solution could be to assist the user to put 
those jars manually into the java lib directory - then a webstart 
application should be able to use them?

So VFS might be impossible to integrate into Chainsaw.
Not using vfs might not solve the licensing problem - if there is a 
licensing problem, you couldnt use these external libraries anyway.
However, i dont know much about WebStart so maybe you see a technical 
reason why this could not work.
