Hi Laurent, Improved SVG sounds great.
However GPL and Eclipse really do not get along well. Nothing in Eclipse can depend on a GPL piece of code. Have a look at https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-2.0/faq.php#h.sfzscklic49g For example, you couldn't add jFreeSVG to Orbit or to Nebula as a dependency. Your best bet is to ask JFreeSVG to relicense or dual license. There are only 4 committers on record, with the vast majority (99%) being the project owner (https://github.com/jfree/jfreesvg/graphs/contributors). If he can license it EPL then you are good to go. I am not a lawyer - but I hope the above is helpful.
