The real trick is the DoJ; they have to defend the USG in court, as well as deal with any other legal aspects. If they are willing to accept the licenses as-is, then I suspect that rest of the USG would go along (note that I can't speak for the USG on this, someone with authority to sign off on the policy would have to make that decision).
