I don't think so, but I'm certainly not a license expert. The LiftOff
author have answered the question here:

It is my impression that we easily can comply with these requirements.
The only requirement missing is to tell users (perhaps in the readme)
where they can get the LiftOff sources.

It was not my intention to restrict the jython's license, and if that
turns out to be the case, we must look for alternative installers.
LiftOff is by far the most free installer I have found. I looked at:

FreeInstaller. Open source, with a license that is probably free but so
long that I gave up reading it.

Instant installer. Almost open source. It uses some ObjectBlend classes
which is not included.
