[Buildroot] [PATCH 01/16 v3] core/legal-info: update the legal-info report header

In some cases, the toolchain sources are now recovered and available in
the legal-info output. So, adapt the header to use conditional instead
of an definitive negation.

Also update the part about saving the sources: it's not the license list
that defines whether sources are installed, but rather whether the
package is redistributable or not.

Update the header accordingly.
