Reading that link and under those rules, I would think that you cannot include any jar that included any JavaScript or XML; they would count as non-binary/source. I haven't looked at facelets closely (because of the CDDL license), but I would assume that it includes some XML configuration for the standard JSF components. Linking to it with Maven might be a different story.
