I wonder what kind of "license issues" are present in the current software?

I wonder what kind of "license issues" are present in the current software? "U-boot/Kernel/Linux source code will be released 15-Dec-2014. Android source code will be published in February after cleaning some license issues." Looks like the biggest problem with most of these ARM boards (raspberry pi included) is the dependency on some closed-source binary blobs, at least for boot, and sometimes even the entire kernel is a closed branch off some old release.
