Probably nothing.  Is this mere aggregation, or are you planning to
include Bootstrap dependencies into GPL2+ code?

At worst, parts derived from Bootstrap would need to go GPL3+ - if
it does, would relevant authors/holders be willing to grant the
following exceptions?

     1. Developers need publish their modifications only (not the
     whole application source code with all unusual libraries) and
     link back to our public community source code repository.

     2. The running application need not check if the source code is
     currently on-line (so long as it is usually and can be
     requested).

We call these the Co-operative Exceptions and use them on another
project.

Thanks,
