   > Another option in this vain would be to have an allowed licences Kconfig 
where we would fail the build if a non-allowed license was enabled. We could 
also make the Kconfig dependent, the downside being it might be hard to find 
features behind a license gate.
   
   I don't have any concern about 3rd party BSD and MIT code in the system.  
That is spelled out in the LICENSE file.  I just don't have a clue about the 
legal standing of non-Apache licensed code that is downloaded and built into 
the binaries.  The licenses in general place no limits on the content of the 
binaries.  I think that the difference in patent grants between the licenses is 
the only issue that could compromise binaries.
