Following the comments of several Buildroot contributors, I have merged
the 22 patches of your series. Thanks a lot for your perseverance in
getting this merged!

Now, I'd like to point something: the SPDX standard, documented at
http://spdx.org/. It is precisely designed to describe the list of
packages that compose a system. Since it's a big XML nightmare, I'm not
sure we want to support this, but at least they have a list of
licenses, each associated with a short name, that would be good to
follow as a convention, I think. See http://www.spdx.org/licenses/.
What do you think about this?

Best regards,

Thomas
