First, BoringSSL's license changed to Apache only recently.  An older
version of the code is available under a BSD style license.

Second, even with the new license I can get permission to relicense it
if needed.

Third, regardless of license BoringSSL's code can't be reused directly
in the kernel anyway, for various reasons.  My point is that a smaller,
cleaner, and more maintainable implementation of ML-DSA is possible, and
your submission misses the mark.
