I don't have any knowledge of the ins & outs of the various licenses but just wanted to make the observation that from your description of your addon, it won't actually *include* any code from any of the other addons or the base library. That is, someone downloading your addon won't at the same time be downloading this other code. They will need to download that other code at a separate time and it will get loaded by J when your code runs.
