I guess it depends how you bundle. Any distribution out there has code
with all kind of licenses.

If you are planning to copy the fence-agents code inside your project,
then yes it might be a problem because you are mixing code with
different licenses, but if by bundle you mean distribution, as long as
fence-agents is in its own package or in its own source-code, then there
should be no issue.
