Looks like you're in moderation there. I'll send the below when I see the email there:
Are Paul and Josejuan the only contributors to the work? Usually you need to have the permission of every committer (contributor?) to the work to allow relicencing. That part is all about copyright law I think. Does the com.sun bit mean that a separate jar is needed, or is it part of the JVM? In the latter case I think we'll find out that things are legally okay; if the former then the current policy is that that is okay (depends on licence, but we're shipping lots of Sun licenced works), but it's likely to require some hoops in the near future.
