[fedora-java] Including classes from Sun's demo code in a Fedora package

I'm currently reviewing simplyhtml, an HTML editor that's written in Java:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462521

The distributed source includes two files, ElementTreePanel.java and
ExampleFileFilter.java, which seem to have come from the demo
applications distributed with the Sun JDK. ElementTreePanel is still
shipped with JDK 1.6.0_12, while ExampleFileFilter last seems to have
been included in the 1.5 JDKs. Neither file is in the
java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo package, unfortunately, which would have made
things easier ... :(

Is this a showstopper for the package in question? Both of the Sun
demo files are BSD-licensed, while simplyhtml is GPL, if that's
relevant ...

Thanks for any advice,

MEF
