IANAL but, as I told Gabriel, I am building a way to access de DB2 DBMS. I am 
delegating to the "lib" the lib responsabilities using some wrapper. I did not 
change the jar just build some jar that use that one.

Oooh. Now that's a difficult question. I think there are no lawyers on  
this list, and, I'm confident that even if there was this might have  
to be answered on a case-by-case basis.

The real question is "are we modifying the JAR?"

* If you unzip the JAR and add a MANIFEST.MF to OSGi-fy the bundle,  
then you've made modification and so you may be in trouble.
* If, however, you wrap the JAR (e.g. installing using the wrap:  
prefix into the SMX4 runtime) then AFAIK you're wrapping the JAR, not  
modifying it. So, you should be OK.

Does anyone else have any input on this?
