If not already done, I would suggest to have those license stuff
compatible with SPDX [1]. I noticed license names in at least some
packages are not the same as the identifiers on
https://spdx.org/licenses/ ? so if someone wants to generate SPDX stuff
from a buildroot project, it maybe would be better to have a format for
names and delimiters which make it easier towards SPDX package data.
