Third-party dependencies can be non-Apache-license as long as they're
compatible:

It looks like LGPL is *not* allowed - we should probably look at the
OCamlMakefile and setup.rb files to see if we need to rewrite them "from
scratch" - my guess is someone just cped existing ones as templates and
already rewrote them for Thrift's use case
