Well, we do not try to resolve license dependencies and/or incompatibilities.
We are not lawyers, so we lack the knowledge to do so.

Instead, we just list the licenses, and leave out to the user (or their
legal team) to sort out such incompatibilities, should they believe
there are.

So, my suggestion would be to just list the licenses as exhaustively as
possible, and be done with that.

So yes, we'd accept such a package. ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
