I am not sure what you mean by "IP related drivers". Do you mean
proprietary drivers?
It is true that the BR2_EXTERNAL thing raises a licensing question:
should the BR2_EXTERNAL contents also be released under GPLv2, like the
rest of Buildroot? Do we really want the root filesystem overlays and
other highly project-specific contents be released under GPLv2 ?
