After additional research:

since version 1.5.3, JOTM is released under a BSD license. The
interesting thing is that the carol.jar library is shipped within the
JOTM release (BSD), both in the 1.5.3 and in the latest one, 2.0.10 (in
a jar called ow_carol.jar).

Is the issue with the Carol license solved?
