This statement is very important; IMHO the Freenet Project need an explicit position on that question. Project Leaders, can we hear you ? Releasing the main code under GPL is ineffective, if the .jar need proprietary software; in my understanding the use of the GPL licence is incorrect; I think in this case LGPL is the right type of licence. Anyway, till Freenet remains in java, dropping the Kaffe compatibility IMHO is a fundamental mistake, both from the point of view of free software and from the security. The only other way to solve this problem is IMU, to release a C (or other freely compilable/runnable language) version JM2C.
