The potential issue here is about dependence upon one vendor (or commercial actor). If the project is not usable without a specific piece of work (library) that is controlled and maintained elsewhere, and exercising our freedom to rewrite/fork is difficult, the project isn't really independent. Being independent is an important tenant for ASF projects. I don't see this being an issue with jamm or jvector. But I do think it's important to check.
