There are most definitely legal "issues", however, depending on what you want to do with it, there may or may not be legal PROBLEMS. For example, if you wish to sell an android device to which you have generated a customized version of Android, it will be required that you provide the source code for modifications to existing components if those components are licensed under GPL. Generally, you should read all of the applicable licenses for the components of the system you wish to port. Of the various components, the majority of it is licensed under either GPL(v2 or v3) or Apache licenses. Read those licenses and if you don't understand them, consult a proficient lawyer.
