That doesn't make any difference, unless the JARs are licensed under
a BSD-like license. Debian (nor anyone else) does not have right to
distribute L?GPLed JARs without source.
I have little interest for liferay, so I doubt joining the
packaging, but I think there might be JARs that will come of use for
other applications. Please make sure to document all this in the ITP
(not that I ever thought you wouldn't ;-)...) - I might join in if I
have specific interest in one of the libraries.
I wish you good luck ;-)
