I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't be acceptable. While jython
is covered by a whole lot of licanses, they are all fully open source.

That is up to you and your requirements. You are also free to just
include the jython.jar and some/all of the Lib directory. If you decide
to bundle jython.jar directly, you should comply with the licenses by
also including the all LICENSE*.* files you can find in the jython
distribution.
