As long as you don't provide the bootstrap code itself in that 
extensions, there is no licensing problem at all. Same for any other 
framework.

You just have to make sure that your extension produces HTML output that 
matches the structure of the target framework. i.e. Using class="row" 
and class="span3" or the like for a bootstrap package. This will be 
enough for a base package, that will just work with HTML and TypoScript 
to provide the necessary Grids and modified tt_content setups.

To get the themes in, you will need an extension that works as a 
downloader and/or installer for ready made packages, which don't contain 
any GPLed code, but just the necessary files for JS, CSS and additional 
TypoScript. So the license can be completely different from the one used 
for the extensions, since it is allowed to use packages with different 
licenses, while it is not allowed to provide them within one 
downloadable and/or installable extension.

Actually it is exactly the same as if you would download twitter 
bootstrap and then put it into a TYPO3 based website you have made for a 
client, just the process of downloading and installing will be automated 
and the HTML will already match the framework.

Just my 2 cents
