RFC5653 obsoletes RFC2853 and uses a three-clause revised BSD license
for the code embedded in it.

Assuming you'd be using the GSS-API C bindings to implement the Java
bindings, I don't see how the MIT Kerberos license comes into play,
since you could link with any GSS-API C bindings implementation, of
which there are at least four to my knowledge.  The C bindings
licensing would be specified in RFC2744, but it doesn't really have a
license for the C header bits.
