Thanks for bringing up this issue. I think one important point is that 
all newer ARM CMSIS files are Apache 2.0:

   https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5

So that affects all ARM cores and not only STM32. From my point of view, 
we sooner or later have to accept this license if we don't want to 
maintain our own fork of ARM CMSIS.

Best regards

Christian
