I don't see what you mean about the license. ZODB is covered by the same 
Open license as the rest of Zope, and it only requires you to state that:

   This product includes software developed by Digital Creations
   for use in the Z Object Publishing Environment
   (http://www.zope.org/).

As for he C code, if you get Acquisition to work in Java, you're halfway 
there. That is the hardest piece of Zope to convert I think.
