Hello Chris,

Sorry for the late reaction and thanks for picking this up.  I haven't
built mongodb with your patches, but I hope to find the time for this at
some point next week.

I believe I ran into a licensing issue with mongodb's third party stuff.
I cannot find the problematic library so quickly, but we should verify
the licenses of each library in the "third_party" folder:
  https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/tree/master/src/third_party

So, at least the list of licenses for the mongodb package should be
made complete.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
