What if a subproject depended on something that was BSD licensed?
BSD has no reciprocity hence, same as ASL.

Does it? Why? The AdminPermission stuff is completely written within the
Felix project, it is not a copy of anything from the OSGi Alliance.
True, but it does copy/comprise an interface developed/copyrighted by
the OSGi Alliance. From my understanding this is a grey area and I'd
argue to add it to the NOTICE to be save ... but IANAL and I believe
stuff like that is first, not really tested in court and second,
subject to subtle differences in copyright laws all over the world. I
think we should add it to be save or ask at legal@ for a
clarification.
