That subset would be the reactor (actually, the various reactor
implementations) and its close dependencies. However, that might
already amount to a sizeable chunk of code :-) (for good reason, of
course: even Twisted Core does much, much more than asyncore).

Twisted's license is MIT-like so I don't think there would be any
so-called "licensing" problem. :-)
