I'm just a user of V8 (not a developer), but I don't think there would
be any licensing issues. V8 and the included software appear to use
the BSD license. In my opinion, this is a very generous and open
license.
I'm not a lawyer, and I do not intend for my advice to be taken as the
sole basis for your use. It would be wise to read the license and look
for explanations as well. :)
Here's a rewording of the BSD license:
Copyright notice: [Insert copyright notice here.]
You can do anything you want with this code, as long as you follow
these conditions:
* Redistributions of source code must have the above copyright
notice, these conditions, and the disclaimer below.
* Redistributions in binary form (e.g. a compiled and executable
program) must show the above copyright notice, these conditions, and
the disclaimer below in either the documentation, other materials
provided with the distribution, or in both (it must be shown in one
thing, but you can show it in everything if you want).
* Neither the name of [the person who made this (e.g. Google)] nor
the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote
products created from this software without specific prior written
permission.
Disclaimer: There's no warranty and no liability. (If something goes
wrong, we're not responsible.)
This page shows the licensing applicable to V8 and included
components: http://code.google.com/apis/v8/terms.html
Here's a page that shows the BSD license:

Here's a short explanation and guide to using the license:

I hope this helps,

P.S. By the way, are you thinking using V8 on MINIX? :D
