Thanks for the link I took a quick look and can see a couple of things that will need to change. Over all it’s in good shape Apache wise other only a few minor issue, there's two compiled files, I did notice one GPL licensed bit of software (./tools/mkimage.sh), three other files (READMEs) refer to free software which would need to be checked. You'll need to come up with a way of only replacing the right headers and the licensing is going to take a some effort to put together as I could count 160 odd distinct copyright owners in the release. There are tools to help with this but there’s going to be some manual boring work required. Given the number of 3rd party licenses there might be something in there that’s not compatible with the ALv2. > It also occurs to me that that there are a few non-standard BSD licenses from > silicon vendors.

That could be an issue as that’s going to be a restriction of use on top of the ALv2, however you could do what Mynewt did and ask the vendor(s) to change the license (they mostly did), find the same or similar code under another license, or treat it as an optional as not all users are going to require it.
