Jody, I think we'd have to approach Vivid Solutions to get any part of OpenJUMP released via LGPL. Based on my previous interactions with Vivid I'm not sure if this would be possible. But I could check with one of the guys from Vivid about the possibility.
I should probably run this by the OJ developers list first. In the meantime, I'll separate that part of my module into another JAR.
