One thing I have learned about using licensed software is to be careful.
For a non-profit open source environment the issues are not large. When an attempt for profit is made on a codebase then licensing becomes a much larger and potentially costly issue. The discussion mentioned was about how the ExtJS licensing would affect any commercial fork of XBMC. At that time the ExtJS licensing was confusing. I think since then the ExtJS open source license has been made GPL v3.
