That's not exactly clear (at least for me). Anyway - it seems mostly a 
theoretical problem. From practical point of view, if SAGE would use 
different FSF licences for different parts of it, it seems impossible that, 
say, PARI, or GAP, would sue it for that. Axiom - maybe (just a joke :), but 
it doesn't seem to be a part of SAGE.
