I would not insist onto this modular approach which leaded me to start
with dcm4che-core - it might be that putting everything into one might
be more promising. Just to let you know that I'm not really proud on

As far as I know its the license of jai-imageio itself and it is
upstream dead - so hard to contact the authors.
