We don't provide source for those libraries, but I suppose we could.
I need to have another look at the license. I made the assumption that 
in the question: "I am writing free software that uses non-free ..." The 
term *free* meant GPL, although that seems not to be correct.
I also remember a number of debates on this list where people told me 
that the GPL was incompatible with Java and I never got where it came from.
