Reason for blocking FE-Legal here was the SRPM contains a directory with
various binary JARs, including an apparently GPL-licensed one, JFlex.jar,
without source. 

See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#Pre-built_JAR_files_.2F_Other_bundled_software
"There may arise rare cases that an upstream project is distributing JAR files
that are actually not re-distributable by Fedora. In this situation, the JAR
files themselves should not be redistributed -- even in the source zip. A
modified source zip should be created with some sort of modifier in the name
(ex. -CLEAN) along with instructions for reproducing."

This is one of those "rare cases"; obviously Fedora cannot redistribute
JFlex.jar without also distributing its source code.
