Yes, this is an unfortunate Java-specific problem. Perl or Python lists are 
immune from it.

You can use debian-legal, but NetRexx is obviously non-free and cannot probably be packaged at all:

International Business Machines Corporation grants you a license
       to use the Program only in the country where you acquired it. 

...

You may NOT:

       1. sublicense, rent, lease, or assign the Program; and
       2. reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the
          Program.
