I believe it does. You certainly have the right to do so regarding my
changes and I believe that neither jpython, python-2.0 or apache
prevents re-distribution, even when bundled with a close-sourced
application.

This is what I would do to comply with the licenses:

1) Include the three Jython license files (LICENSE.txt, Lib/LICENSE and
   org/apache/LICENSE) with the distributed application.

2) Add an statement to your license that says: 

   """
   The application contains Jython software which is covered by licences
   LICENSE.txt, Lib/LICENSE and org/apache/LICENSE.
   """

3) Ask a person who have studied the law <0.1 wink>.
