Licensing and adding new dependencies should be part of that as well. That being said, I'll still state for the record that I don't believe that the legal implications of adding code from outside the project without discussion has ever been an issue where there is ambiguity. Again, lets highlight it wherever we can, but I don't agree with a high volume list meaning that the requirement is unclear. Perhaps we are talking about two different things here, with your point being about the general expectations and mine being very specifically about adding any code from outside the project to any branch of our repo. Either way, lets write it down in more places to help folks remember.
