The only problem would be if you used SS's new classes in a commercial application. Which in fact would be unlikely as they would not be allowed to use the JUMP code anyway because it is GPL.
I think the rule is commercial apps can use LGPL libraries but not GPL ones. I took another approach for the same problem I added a FeatureFactory to my reader components and have a JumpFeatureFactory that will create features which implement both my DataObject interface and the Jump Feature interface. This way there is no conversion required between feature models. You just set the factory based on the type of feature instance you want. The reader uses this factory to create the instances.
