The Event Admin bundle embeds content from oswego, but I don't see any

Looking at the license text, it appears that a copyright notice is
required.
Ianal therefore I'm not 100% sure if we really need this. My
understanding is that - as we use directly the oswego binaries - we
don't need any mention in the notice.
The above sun license is for the source code of two classes - and we
don't distribute the source of the changed java files.
But maybe I'm bending the above statement too much?
Actually, the text of the license says:
-Redistributions of source or binary code must contain the above
copyright notice, this notice and and the following disclaimers:
Notice it mentions source or binary code...
